1 Kings 16:23-33
23In the thirty-firstH7970H259 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, OmriH6018 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 and reigned for twelveH8147H6240 yearsH8141; he reignedH4427 for sixH8337 yearsH8141 at 1TirzahH8656. 24And he purchasedH7069 the hillH2022 2SamariaH8111 from ShemerH8106 for 3two talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and he builtH1129 on the hillH2022, and namedH7121H8034 the cityH5892 whichH834 he builtH1129 45SamariaH8111, afterH5921 the nameH8034 of ShemerH8106, the ownerH113 of the hillH2022.
25Now 6OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, and 7actedH7489 moreH4480 wickedlyH7489 thanH4480 allH3605 whoH834 were beforeH6440 him. 26For he 8walkedH1980 9entirelyH3605 in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 and in his sinsH2403 into whichH834 he misledH2398 IsraelH3478, provokingH3707 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 toH3707 angerH3707 with their 10idolsH1892. 27Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of OmriH6018 whichH834 he didH6213 and his mightH1369 whichH834 he 11displayedH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 28And OmriH6018 12layH7901 downH7901 with his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111; and his sonH1121 AhabH256 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.
29Now AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in the thirty-eighthH7970H8083 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 reignedH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 for twenty-twoH6242H8147 yearsH8141. 30AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 13moreH4480 thanH4480 allH3605 whoH834 were beforeH6440 him.
31And as though it had beenH7043 aH7043 trivialH7043 thingH7043 for him to walkH1980 in the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, 14he marriedH3947H802 JezebelH348 the daughterH1323 of EthbaalH856 kingH4428 of the 15SidoniansH6722, and wentH1980 and servedH5647 BaalH1168, and worshipedH2331 him. 32So he erectedH6965 an altarH4196 for BaalH1168 at 16the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, whichH834 he builtH1129 in SamariaH8111. 33AhabH256 also madeH6213 17the 18AsherahH842. So 19AhabH256 didH6213 moreH3254 to provokeH3707 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 toH3707 angerH3707 thanH4480 allH3605 the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 whoH834 were beforeH6440 him.
