1 Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came to Jehu 3058 the son 1121 of Hanani 2607 against Baasha 1201, saying 559,
2 Forasmuch as I exalted 7311 thee out of the dust 6083, and made 5414 thee prince 5057 over my people 5971 Israel 3478; and thou hast walked 3212 in the way 1870 of Jeroboam 3379, and hast made my people 5971 Israel 3478 to sin 2398, to provoke me to anger 3707 with their sins 2403;
3 Behold, I will take away 1197 the posterity 310 of Baasha 1201, and the posterity 310 of his house 1004; and will make 5414 thy house 1004 like the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028.
4 Him that dieth 4191 of Baasha 1201 in the city 5892 shall the dogs 3611 eat 398; and him that dieth 4191 of his in the fields 7704 shall the fowls 5775 of the air 8064 eat 398.
5 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Baasha 1201, and what he did 6213, and his might 1369, are they not written 3789 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?
6 So Baasha 1201 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and was buried 6912 in Tirzah 8656: and Elah 425 his son 1121 reigned 4427 in his stead.
7 And also by the hand 3027 of the prophet 5030 Jehu 3058 the son 1121 of Hanani 2607 came the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 against Baasha 1201, and against his house 1004, even for all the evil 7451 that he did 6213 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, in provoking him to anger 3707 with the work 4639 of his hands 3027, in being like the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379; and because he killed 5221 him.
8 In the twenty 6242 8141 and sixth 8337 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Elah 425 the son 1121 of Baasha 1201 to reign 4427 over Israel 3478 in Tirzah 8656, two years 8141.
9 And his servant 5650 Zimri 2174, captain 8269 of half 4276 his chariots 7393, conspired 7194 against him, as he was in Tirzah 8656, drinking 8354 himself drunk 7910 in the house 1004 of Arza 777 steward of his house 1004 in Tirzah 8656.
10 And Zimri 2174 went in 935 and smote 5221 him, and killed 4191 him, in the twenty 6242 and seventh 7651 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063, and reigned 4427 in his stead.
11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign 4427, as soon as he sat 3427 on his throne 3678, that he slew 5221 all the house 1004 of Baasha 1201: he left 7604 him not one that pisseth 8366 against a wall 7023, neither of his kinsfolks 1350, nor of his friends 7453.
12 Thus did Zimri 2174 destroy 8045 all the house 1004 of Baasha 1201, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, which he spake 1696 against Baasha 1201 by 3027 Jehu 3058 the prophet 5030,
13 For all the sins 2403 of Baasha 1201, and the sins 2403 of Elah 425 his son 1121, by which they sinned 2398, and by which they made Israel 3478 to sin 2398, in provoking the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 to anger 3707 with their vanities 1892.
14 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Elah 425, and all that he did 6213, are they not written 3789 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?
15 In the twenty 6242 8141 and seventh 7651 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 did Zimri 2174 reign 4427 seven 7651 days 3117 in Tirzah 8656. And the people 5971 were encamped 2583 against Gibbethon 1405, which belonged to the Philistines 6430.
16 And the people 5971 that were encamped 2583 heard 8085 say 559, Zimri 2174 hath conspired 7194, and hath also slain 5221 the king 4428: wherefore all Israel 3478 made Omri 6018, the captain 8269 of the host 6635, king 4427 over Israel 3478 that day 3117 in the camp 4264.
17 And Omri 6018 went up 5927 from Gibbethon 1405, and all Israel 3478 with him, and they besieged 6696 Tirzah 8656.
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri 2174 saw 7200 that the city 5892 was taken 3920, that he went 935 into the palace 759 of the king's 4428 house 1004, and burnt 8313 the king's 4428 house 1004 over him with fire 784, and died 4191,
19 For his sins 2403 which he sinned 2398 in doing 6213 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, in walking 3212 in the way 1870 of Jeroboam 3379, and in his sin 2403 which he did 6213, to make Israel 3478 to sin 2398.
20 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Zimri 2174, and his treason 7195 that he wrought 7194, are they not written 3789 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?
21 Then were the people 5971 of Israel 3478 divided 2505 into two parts 2677: half 2677 of the people 5971 followed 1961 310 Tibni 8402 the son 1121 of Ginath 1527, to make him king 4427; and half 2677 followed 310 Omri 6018.
22 But the people 5971 that followed 310 Omri 6018 prevailed 2388 against 854 the people 5971 that followed 310 Tibni 8402 the son 1121 of Ginath 1527: so Tibni 8402 died 4191, and Omri 6018 reigned 4427.
23 In the thirty 7970 8141 and first 259 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Omri 6018 to reign 4427 over Israel 3478, twelve 8147 6240 years 8141: six 8337 years 8141 reigned 4427 he in Tirzah 8656.
24 And he bought 7069 the hill 2022 Samaria 8111 of Shemer 8106 for two talents 3603 of silver 3701, and built 1129 on the hill 2022, and called 7121 the name 8034 of the city 5892 which he built 1129, after the name 8034 of Shemer 8106, owner 113 of the hill 2022, Samaria 8111.
25 But Omri 6018 wrought 6213 evil 7451 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068, and did worse 7489 than all that were before 6440 him.
26 For he walked 3212 in all the way 1870 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, and in his sin 2403 wherewith he made Israel 3478 to sin 2398, to provoke the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 to anger 3707 with their vanities 1892.
27 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Omri 6018 which he did 6213, and his might 1369 that he shewed 6213, are they not written 3789 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?
28 So Omri 6018 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and was buried 6912 in Samaria 8111: and Ahab 256 his son 1121 reigned 4427 in his stead.
29 And in the thirty 7970 8141 and eighth 8083 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Ahab 256 the son 1121 of Omri 6018 to reign 4427 over Israel 3478: and Ahab 256 the son 1121 of Omri 6018 reigned 4427 over Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111 twenty 6242 and two 8147 years 8141.
30 And Ahab 256 the son 1121 of Omri 6018 did 6213 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 above all that were before 6440 him.
31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing 7043 for him to walk 3212 in the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, that he took 3947 to wife 802 Jezebel 348 the daughter 1323 of Ethbaal 856 king 4428 of the Zidonians 6722, and went 3212 and served 5647 Baal 1168, and worshipped 7812 him.
32 And he reared up 6965 an altar 4196 for Baal 1168 in the house 1004 of Baal 1168, which he had built 1129 in Samaria 8111.
33 And Ahab 256 made 6213 a grove 842; and Ahab 256 did 6213 more 3254 to provoke the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 to anger 3707 than all the kings 4428 of Israel 3478 that were before 6440 him.
34 In his days 3117 did Hiel 2419 the Bethelite 1017 build 1129 Jericho 3405: he laid the foundation 3245 thereof in Abiram 48 his firstborn 1060, and set up 5324 the gates 1817 thereof in his youngest 6810 son Segub 7687, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, which he spake 1696 by 3027 Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126.
