1 Kings 16:2-13
2Forasmuch as I exaltedH7311 thee from the dustH6083, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and thou hast walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and hast made my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, to provoke me to angerH3707 with their sinsH2403;
3Behold, I will take awayH1197 the posterityH310 of BaashaH1201, and the posterityH310 of his houseH1004; and will makeH5414 thy houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.
4Him that diethH4191 of BaashaH1201 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398; and him that diethH4191 of his in the fieldsH7704 shall the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064 eatH398.
5Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of BaashaH1201, and what he didH6213, and his mightH1369, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
6So BaashaH1201 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in TirzahH8656: and ElahH425 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
7And also by the handH3027 of the prophetH5030 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 against BaashaH1201, and against his houseH1004, even for all the evilH7451 that he didH6213 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, in provoking him to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of his handsH3027, in being like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379; and because he killedH5221 him.
8In the twentyH6242H8141 and sixthH8337 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began ElahH425 the sonH1121 of BaashaH1201 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in TirzahH8656, two yearsH8141.
9And his servantH5650 ZimriH2174, captainH8269 of halfH4276 his chariotsH7393, conspiredH7194 against him, as he was in TirzahH8656, drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the houseH1004 of ArzaH777 steward of his houseH1004 in TirzahH8656.1
10And ZimriH2174 went inH935 and smoteH5221 him, and killedH4191 him, in the twentyH6242 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 in his stead.
11And it came to pass, when he began to reignH4427, as soon as he satH3427 on his throneH3678, that he slewH5221 all the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201: he leftH7604 him not one maleH8366H7023, neither of his kinsmanH1350, nor of his friendsH7453.2
12Thus did ZimriH2174 destroyH8045 all the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spokeH1696 against BaashaH1201 byH3027 JehuH3058 the prophetH5030,3
13For all the sinsH2403 of BaashaH1201, and the sinsH2403 of ElahH425 his sonH1121, by which they sinnedH2398, and by which they made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, in provoking the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892.
