[1] The word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha,
saying, [2] Because I exalted you out of the dust, and made you prince over
my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made
my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins; [3]
behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make
your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. [4] Him who dies of
Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him who dies of his in the field
shall the birds of the sky eat. [5] Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and
what he did, and his might, aren`t they written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel? [6] Baasha slept with his fathers, and
was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place. [7] Moreover
by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of Yahweh against
Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in
the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in
being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him. [8] In the
twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to
reign over Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] two years. [9] His servant
Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in
Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the
household in Tirzah: [10] and Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him,
in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
[11] It happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne,
that he struck all the house of Baasha: he didn`t leave him a single
man-child, neither of his relatives, nor of his friends. [12] Thus did
Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh,
which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, [13] for all the sins of
Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which
they made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger
with their vanities. [14] Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he
did, aren`t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel? [15] In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri
reign seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon,
which belonged to the Philistines. [16] The people who were encamped heard
say, Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king: therefore all
Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the
camp. [17] Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they
besieged Tirzah. [18] It happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken,
that he went into the castle of the king`s house, and burnt the king`s
house over him with fire, and died, [19] for his sins which he sinned in
doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, in walking in the way of
Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin. [20] Now the
rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he did, aren`t they written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? [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. [22] But the
people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni
the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. [23] In the
thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel,
[and reigned] twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah. [24] He bought
the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the
hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of
Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria. [25] Omri did that which was evil
in the sight of Yahweh, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.
[26] For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his
sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of
Israel, to anger with their vanities. [27] Now the rest of the acts of Omri
which he did, and his might that he showed, aren`t they 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 reigned in his place.
[29] In the thirty-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-two years. [30] Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil
in the sight of Yahweh above all that were before him. [31] It happened, as
if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the
son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of
the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. [32] He reared
up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
[33] Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Yahweh, the
God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
[34] In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the
foundation of it with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up the
gates of it with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word
of Yahweh, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
