1
Now the word
of the LORD
came
to Jehu
the son
of Hanani
against
Baasha,
saying,
2
"Inasmuch
as I exalted
you from the dust
and made
you leader
over
My people
Israel
,
and you have walked
in the way
of Jeroboam
and have made
My people
Israel
sin,
provoking Me to anger
with their sins,
3
behold,
I will consume
Baasha
and his house,
and I will make
your house
like the house
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat.
4
"Anyone of Baasha
who dies
in the city
the dogs
will eat,
and anyone of his
who dies
in the field
the birds
of the heavens
will eat."
5
Now the rest
of the acts
of Baasha
and what
he did
and his might,
are they not written
in the Book
of the Chronicles
of the Kings
of Israel?
6
And Baasha
slept
with his fathers
and was buried
in Tirzah,
and Elah
his son
became king
in his place.
7
Moreover,
the word
of the LORD
through
the prophet
Jehu
the son
of Hanani
also
came
against
Baasha
and his household,
both because
of all
the evil
which
he did
in the sight
of the LORD
,
provoking Him to anger
with the work
of his hands,
in being
like the house
of Jeroboam,
and because
he struck
it.
8
In the twenty-sixth
year
of Asa
king
of Judah,
Elah
the son
of Baasha
became
king
over
Israel
at Tirzah,
and reigned two years.
9
His servant
Zimri,
commander
of half
his chariots,
conspired
against
him. Now he was at Tirzah
drinking
himself drunk
in the house
of Arza,
who
was over
the household
at Tirzah.
10
Then Zimri
went
in and struck
him and put him to death
in the twenty-seventh
year
of Asa
king
of Judah,
and became
king
in his place.
11
It came
about when he became king,
as soon as he sat
on his throne,
that he killed
all
the household
of Baasha;
he did not leave
a single male,
neither of his relatives
nor of his friends.
12
Thus Zimri
destroyed
all
the household
of
Baasha
,
according to the word
of the LORD,
which
He spoke
against
Baasha
through
Jehu
the prophet,
13
for all
the sins
of Baasha
and
the sins
of Elah
his son,
which
they sinned
and
which
they made Israel
sin,
provoking
the LORD
God
of Israel
to anger
with their idols.
14
Now the rest
of the acts
of Elah
and all
that he did,
are they not written
in the Book
of the Chronicles
of the Kings
of Israel?
15
In the twenty-seventh
year
of Asa
king
of Judah,
Zimri
reigned
seven
days
at Tirzah.
Now the people
were camped
against
Gibbethon,
which
belonged to the Philistines.
16
The people
who were camped
heard
it said,
"Zimri
has conspired
and has also
struck down
the
king
."
Therefore all
Israel
made
Omri,
the commander
of the army,
king
over
Israel
that day
in the camp.
17
Then Omri
and all
Israel
with him went
up from Gibbethon
and besieged
Tirzah.
18
When Zimri
saw
that the city
was taken,
he went
into the citadel
of
the king's
house
and burned
the king's
house
over
him with fire,
and died,
19
because
of his sins
which
he sinned,
doing
evil
in the sight
of the LORD,
walking
in the way
of Jeroboam,
and in his sin
which
he did,
making Israel
sin.
20
Now the rest
of the acts
of Zimri
and his conspiracy
which
he carried
out, are they not written
in the Book
of the Chronicles
of the Kings
of Israel?
21
Then
the people
of Israel
were divided
into two
parts:
half
of
the people
followed
Tibni
the son
of Ginath,
to make him king;
the other
half
followed
Omri.
22
But
the people
who
followed
Omri
prevailed over
the people
who
followed
Tibni
the son
of Ginath.
And
Tibni
died
and
Omri
became king.
23
In the thirty-first
year
of Asa
king
of Judah,
Omri
became
king
over
Israel
and reigned twelve
years
;
he reigned
six
years
at Tirzah.
24
He bought
the hill
Samaria
from Shemer
for two talents
of silver;
and
he built
on
the hill
,
and named
the city
which
he built
Samaria
,
after
the name
of Shemer,
the owner
of
the hill
.
25
Omri
did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD,
and acted
more
wickedly
than
all
who
were before
him.
26
For he walked
in all
the way
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
and in his sins
which
he made Israel
sin,
provoking
the LORD
God
of Israel
with their idols.
27
Now the rest
of the acts
of Omri
which
he did
and his might
which
he showed,
are they not written
in the Book
of the Chronicles
of the Kings
of Israel?
28
So Omri
slept
with his fathers
and was buried
in Samaria;
and Ahab
his son
became king
in his place.
29
Now Ahab
the son
of Omri
became
king
over
Israel
in the thirty-eighth
year
of Asa
king
of Judah,
and Ahab
the son
of Omri
reigned
over
Israel
in Samaria
twenty-two
years.
30
Ahab
the son
of Omri
did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD
more than
all
who
were before
him.
31
It came
about, as though it had been a trivial thing
for him to walk
in the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat,
that he married
Jezebel
the daughter
of Ethbaal
king
of the Sidonians,
and went
to serve
Baal
and worshiped
him.
32
So he erected
an altar
for Baal
in the house
of Baal
which
he built
in Samaria.
33
Ahab
also made
the Asherah.
Thus
Ahab
did
more
to provoke
the LORD
God
of Israel
than
all
the kings
of Israel
who
were before
him.
34
In his days
Hiel
the Bethelite
built
Jericho;
he laid its foundations
with the loss of Abiram
his firstborn,
and set
up its gates
with the loss of his youngest
son Segub,
according to the word
of the LORD,
which
He spoke
by Joshua
the son
of Nun.
