23In the thirtyH7970 and firstH259 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began OmriH6018 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 twelveH6240 yearsH8141: sixH8337 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in TirzahH8656.

24And he boughtH7069 the hillH2022 SamariaH8111 of ShemerH8106 for two talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and he builtH1129 on the hillH2022, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 whichH834 he builtH1129, afterH5921 the nameH8034 of ShemerH8106, the ownerH113 of the hillH2022, SamariaH8111.

25And OmriH6018 didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and dealt wickedlyH7451 aboveH6440 allH3605 that were beforeH6440 him.

26For he walked in allH3605 the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and in his sinsH2398 wherewith he madeH3605 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, to provokeH3707 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892.
