1KI-16:1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of
Hanani against Baasha, saying,
1KI-16:2 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made
thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the
way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to
provoke me to anger with their sins;
1KI-16:3 Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and
the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the
house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1KI-16:4 Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat;
and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the
air eat.
1KI-16:5 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?
1KI-16:6 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in
Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
1KI-16:7 And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of
Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his
house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the
LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in
being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
1KI-16:8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began
Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
1KI-16:9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half [his] chariots,
conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself
drunk in the house of Arza steward of [his] house in Tirzah.
1KI-16:10 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in
the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in
his stead.
1KI-16:11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon
as he sat on his throne, [that] he slew all the house of Baasha:
he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his
kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
1KI-16:12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha,
according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha
by Jehu the prophet,
1KI-16:13 For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his
son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin,
in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
1KI-16:14 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?
1KI-16:15 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah
did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people [were]
encamped against Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines.
1KI-16:16 And the people [that were] encamped heard say, Zimri
hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all
Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that
day in the camp. 1KI-16:17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and
all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
1KI-16:18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was
taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and
burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,
1KI-16:19 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the
sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his
sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
1KI-16:20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason
that he wrought, [are] they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1KI-16:21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts:
half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him
king; and half followed Omri.
1KI-16:22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against
the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died,
and Omri reigned.
1KI-16:23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah
began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned
he in Tirzah.
1KI-16:24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two
talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of
the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the
hill, Samaria.
1KI-16:25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did
worse than all that [were] before him.
1KI-16:26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of
Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to
provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
1KI-16:27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his
might that he showed, [are] they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1KI-16:28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in
Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
1KI-16:29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah
began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the
son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
1KI-16:30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the
LORD above all that [were] before him.
1KI-16:31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing
for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that
he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the
Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
1KI-16:32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of
Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
1KI-16:33 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke
the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel
that were before him.
1KI-16:34 In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he
laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up
the gates thereof in his youngest [son] Segub, according to the
word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
