1 Kings 16:17-22

17And OmriH6018 wentH5927 upH5927 from GibbethonH1405, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him, and they besieged TirzahH8656.

18And it cameH935 to passH935, when ZimriH2174 sawH7200 that the cityH5892 was takenH3920, that he wentH935 intoH413 the castleH759 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and burntH8313 the king’sH4428 houseH1004 over him with fireH784, and diedH4191,

19for his sinsH2398 whichH834 he sinnedH2398 in doingH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, in walking in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and in his sinH2398 whichH834 he didH6213, to makeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.

20NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ZimriH2174, and his treasonH7195 that he wrought, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?

21Then were the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 dividedH2505 intoH1961 twoH2677 partsH2677: halfH2677 of the peopleH5971 followedH310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527, to make him kingH4427; and halfH2677 followedH310 OmriH6018.

22But the peopleH5971 that followedH310 OmriH6018 prevailedH2388 againstH854 the peopleH5971 that followedH310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527: soH834 TibniH8402 diedH4191, and OmriH6018 reignedH4427.
