Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the
son of Hanani against Baasha, saying ,
Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying :
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 ;
“Even
though
I lifted
you
out of the dust and made you
ruler
over My people Israel ,
you
have
walked in the way of Jeroboam and have
caused
My people Israel to sin and
to provoke Me to anger by
their sins .
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 .
So
now
I will consume
Baasha and his house ,
and I
will make your
house like that
of Jeroboam son of Nebat :
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
.
Anyone
belonging
to
Baasha who
dies
in the city will
be
eaten
by
dogs ,
and anyone
who
dies
in the field
will
be
eaten
by
the birds
of the air. ”
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?
As
for
the rest of the acts of Baasha, along
with
his accomplishments
and
might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
So
Baasha slept
with his fathers ,
and was buried in Tirzah :
and Elah
his son reigned in his stead
.
And
Baasha rested
with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah ,
and his son Elah
reigned in his place
.
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
.
Moreover,
the word
of the LORD
came
through
the
prophet Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, because
of
all the evil he had
done
in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands and
becoming
like the house of Jeroboam ,
and also
because Baasha
had
struck
down
the
house
of
Jeroboam
.
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.
In the twenty -
sixth year of Asa’s
reign
over
Judah ,
Elah son of Baasha became
king
of
Israel ,
and
he
reigned
in Tirzah two years.
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
.
However
, while
Elah
was in Tirzah getting
drunk in the house of Arza the
steward of his household
there,
Elah’s
servant
Zimri,
the
commander
of
half
his
chariots,
conspired
against
him
.
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
.
So
in the twenty -
seventh year of Asa’s
reign
over
Judah, Zimri
went
in,
struck
Elah
down,
and killed
him.
And
Zimri
reigned in his place
.
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
kinsfolk
, nor
of
his
friends
.
As soon as Zimri
began
to
reign
and
was
seated
on the
throne, he struck
down
the entire
household
of Baasha .
He did
not leave
a single
male
, whether
a
kinsman
or
friend
.
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.
So
Zimri destroyed
the entire
household
of Baasha, according to the word that
the LORD had
spoken
against Baasha through
Jehu the prophet.
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
.
This
happened
because
of
all the sins Baasha and his son Elah
had
committed
and had
caused
Israel to commit
, provoking the LORD ,
the
God of Israel ,
to anger with their worthless
idols
.
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?
As
for
the rest of the acts of Elah, along
with
all his
accomplishments
, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
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 .
In the twenty -
seventh year of Asa’s
reign
over
Judah ,
Zimri reigned
in Tirzah for
seven
days
. Now
the troops
were encamped against Gibbethon of
the Philistines ,
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
.
and the people in
the
camp
heard that
Zimri had
not
only
conspired but
had
also struck
down
the king .
So
there
in
the
camp
that
very
day,
all Israel proclaimed
Omri, the commander
of the army
, king over Israel.
And
Omri went
up from Gibbethon ,
and all
Israel
with
him,
and
they
besieged Tirzah.
Then
Omri and
all
the
Israelites
marched
up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.
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
.
When Zimri saw that the city was captured
, he entered
the citadel
of the royal
palace
and burned
it
down
upon
himself
. So
he
died
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
.
because
of
the
sins he had
committed,
doing evil in the sight of the LORD and
following
the example
of Jeroboam and the
sin he had
committed
and
had
caused
Israel to commit
.
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?
As
for
the rest of the acts of Zimri and the
treason he committed
, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
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.
At
that
time
the people of Israel were
divided: Half of the people supported
Tibni son of Ginath as
king ,
and half supported
Omri.
But the people
that
followed
Omri prevailed
against
the
people
that
followed
Tibni the
son of Ginath :
so Tibni died ,
and Omri reigned
.
But the followers
of
Omri proved
stronger
than
those
of
Tibni son of Ginath .
So Tibni died and Omri became
king
.
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.
In the thirty -
first year of Asa’s
reign over Judah,
Omri
became
king
of
Israel, and
he
reigned
twelve years ,
six of
them
in Tirzah.
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
.
He bought the hill of Samaria
from
Shemer for two talents of silver and built a
city there
, calling
it
Samaria
after the name of Shemer, who
had
owned
the hill.
But Omri wrought
evil in the eyes
of the LORD ,
and did
worse
than all that
were before him.
But Omri did
evil in the sight
of the LORD and acted
more
wickedly
than all who
were before him.
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
.
For he walked in all the ways
of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins,
which
he caused
Israel to commit
, provoking
the LORD ,
the
God of Israel ,
to anger with their worthless
idols
.
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?
As
for
the rest of the acts of Omri, along
with
his accomplishments
and
the
might he exercised
, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
So
Omri slept
with his fathers ,
and was buried in Samaria :
and Ahab
his son reigned in his stead
.
And
Omri rested
with his fathers and was buried in Samaria ,
and his son Ahab
reigned in his place
.
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.
In the thirty -
eighth year of Asa’s
reign
over
Judah ,
Ahab son of Omri became
king
of
Israel ,
and he
reigned in Samaria twenty -
two years.
And
Ahab the
son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above
all that
were before him.
However,
Ahab son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD ,
more
than
all who
were before him.
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
.
And as if it were
not
enough
for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, he even
married
Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians
, and he
then
proceeded
to
serve
and worship
Baal.
And
he
reared
up an altar for Baal in the house
of Baal ,
which
he had built in Samaria.
First,
Ahab
set
up an altar for Baal in the temple
of Baal that
he had built in Samaria.
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.
Then
he
set
up
an
Asherah
pole.
Thus
Ahab did more to provoke the LORD ,
the
God of Israel ,
to anger than all the kings of Israel before him.
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.
In Ahab’s
days ,
Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt
Jericho .
At
the cost
of
Abiram his firstborn he
laid
its
foundation
, and at
the cost
of
Segub
his youngest he
set
up
its
gates
, according to the word that
the LORD had
spoken
through
Joshua son of Nun.
