1 Kings 16:2-13

2“SinceH3282H834 I 1exaltedH7311 you from the dustH6083 and madeH5414 you leaderH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and 2you have walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 and have misledH2398 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 intoH2398 sinH2398, provokingH3707 Me toH3707 angerH3707 with their sinsH2403, 3beholdH2009, 3I am going to 4burnH1197 5BaashaH1201 and his houseH1004, and 6I will makeH5414 your houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028. 47Anyone belonging to BaashaH1201 who diesH4191 in the cityH5892, the dogsH3611 will eatH398; and anyone belonging to him who diesH4191 in the fieldH7704, the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 will eatH398.”

58Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of BaashaH1201 and whatH834 he didH6213 and his mightH1369, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 6And BaashaH1201 9layH7901 downH7901 with his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in 10TirzahH8656, and his sonH1121 ElahH425 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 7MoreoverH1571, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 throughH3027 11the prophetH5030 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 cameH1961 againstH413 BaashaH1201 and his householdH1004, both becauseH5921 of allH3605 the evilH7463 that he didH6213 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, provokingH3707 Him toH3707 angerH3707 with 12the workH4639 of his handsH3027, by beingH1961 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and becauseH5921H834 13he struckH5221 14it.

8In the twenty-sixthH6242H8337 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, ElahH425 the sonH1121 of BaashaH1201 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 at TirzahH8656, and reigned for two yearsH8141. 9And his servantH5650 15ZimriH2174, commanderH8269 of halfH4276 his chariotsH7393, conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him. Now 16Elah was in TirzahH8656 drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the houseH1004 of ArzaH777, 17whoH834 was inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the householdH1004 in TirzahH8656. 10Then ZimriH2174 cameH935 inH935 and struckH5221 him and putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191 in the twenty-seventhH6242H7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and he becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 11And when he becameH4427 kingH4427, as soon as he satH3427 on his throneH3678, 18he 19killedH5221 allH3605 the householdH1004 of BaashaH1201; he did not leaveH7604 20a single maleH8366H7023 aliveH7604, either of his 21relativesH1350 or of his friendsH7453.

12So ZimriH2174 eliminatedH8045 allH3605 the householdH1004 of BaashaH1201, 22in accordance with the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He spokeH1696 againstH413 BaashaH1201 throughH3027 23JehuH3058 the prophetH5030, 13for allH3605 the sinsH2403 of BaashaH1201 and the sinsH2403 of his sonH1121 ElahH425, whichH834 they 24committedH2398 and into whichH834 they misledH2398 IsraelH3478, 25provokingH3707 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 toH3707 angerH3707 with their 26idolsH1892.
