ASV_Strong : 1 Kings 16
1. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came to Jehu[H3058] the son[H1121] of Hanani[H2607] against Baasha[H1201], saying[H559],
2. Forasmuch as I exalted[H7311] thee out of the dust[H6083], and made[H5414] thee prince[H5057] over my people[H5971] Israel[H3478], and thou hast walked[H3212] in the way[H1870] of Jeroboam[H3379], and hast made my people[H5971] Israel[H3478] to sin[H2398], to provoke me to anger[H3707] with their sins[H2403];
3. behold[H1197], I will utterly sweep away Baasha[H1201] and his[H310] house[H1004]; and I will make[H5414] thy house[H1004] like the house[H1004] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat[H5028].
4. Him that dieth[H4191] of Baasha[H1201] in the city[H5892] shall the dogs[H3611] eat[H398]; and him that dieth[H4191] of his in the field[H7704] shall the birds[H5775] of the heavens[H8064] eat[H398].
5. Now the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Baasha[H1201], and what he did[H6213], and his might[H1369], are they not written[H3789] in the book[H5612] of the chronicles[H1697] of the kings[H4428] of Israel[H3478]?
6. And Baasha[H1201] slept[H7901] with his fathers[H1], and was buried[H6912] in Tirzah[H8656]; and Elah[H425] his son[H1121] reigned in his stead[H4427].
7. And moreover by[H3027] the prophet[H5030] Jehu[H3058] the son[H1121] of Hanani[H2607] came the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] against Baasha[H1201], and against his house[H1004], both because of all the evil[H7451] that he did[H6213] in the sight[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068], to provoke him to anger[H3707] with the work[H4639] of his hands[H3027], in being like the house[H1004] of Jeroboam[H3379], and because he smote him[H5221].
8. In the twenty[H6242] and sixth[H8337] year[H8141] of Asa[H609] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] began Elah[H425] the son[H1121] of Baasha[H1201] to reign[H4427] over Israel[H3478] in Tirzah[H8656], and reigned two years[H8141].
9. And his servant[H5650] Zimri[H2174], captain[H8269] of half[H4276] his chariots[H7393], conspired[H7194] against him[H8656]. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking[H8354] himself drunk[H7910] in the house[H1004] of Arza[H777], who was over the household[H1004] in Tirzah[H8656]:
10. and Zimri[H2174] went in[H935] and smote[H5221] him[H4191], and killed him[H6242], in the twenty and seventh[H7651] year[H8141] of Asa[H609] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], and reigned in his stead[H4427].
11. And it came to pass[H4427], when he began to reign, as soon as he sat[H3427] on his throne[H3678], that he smote[H5221] all the house[H1004] of Baasha[H1201]: he left[H7604] him not a single man-child[H8366], [H7023] neither of his kinsfolks[H1350], nor of his friends[H7453].
12. Thus did Zimri[H2174] destroy[H8045] all the house[H1004] of Baasha[H1201], according to the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068], which he spake[H1696] against Baasha[H1201] by[H3027] Jehu[H3058] the prophet[H5030],
13. for all the sins[H2403] of Baasha[H1201], and the sins[H2403] of Elah[H425] his son[H1121], which they sinned[H2398], and wherewith they made Israel[H3478] to sin[H2398], to provoke Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478], to anger[H3707] with their vanities[H1892].
14. Now the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Elah[H425], and all that he did[H6213], are they not written[H3789] in the book[H5612] of the chronicles[H1697] of the kings[H4428] of Israel[H3478]?
15. In the twenty[H6242] and seventh[H7651] year[H8141] of Asa[H609] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] did Zimri[H2174] reign[H4427] seven[H7651] days[H3117] in Tirzah[H8656]. Now the people[H5971] were encamped[H2583] against Gibbethon[H1405], which belonged to the Philistines[H6430].
16. And the people[H5971] that were encamped[H2583] heard[H8085] say[H559], Zimri[H2174] hath conspired[H7194], and hath also smitten[H5221] the king[H4428]: wherefore all Israel[H3478] made Omri[H6018], the captain[H8269] of the host[H6635], king[H4427] over Israel[H3478] that day[H3117] in the camp[H4264].
17. And Omri[H6018] went up[H5927] from Gibbethon[H1405], and all Israel[H3478] with him[H6696], and they besieged Tirzah[H8656].
18. And it came to pass[H2174], when Zimri saw[H7200] that the city[H5892] was taken[H3920], that he went[H935] into the castle[H759] of the king[H4428]'s house[H1004], and burnt[H8313] the king[H4428]'s house[H1004] over him with fire[H784], and died[H4191],
19. for his sins[H2403] which he sinned[H2398] in doing[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068], in walking[H3212] in the way[H1870] of Jeroboam[H3379], and in his sin[H2403] which he did[H6213], to make Israel[H3478] to sin[H2398].
20. Now the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Zimri[H2174], and his treason[H7195] that he wrought[H7194], are they not written[H3789] in the book[H5612] of the chronicles[H1697] of the kings[H4428] of Israel[H3478]?
21. Then were the people[H5971] of Israel[H3478] divided[H2505] into two parts[H2677]: half[H2677] of the people[H5971] followed[H1961] Tibni[H8402] the son[H1121] of Ginath[H1527], to make him king[H4427]; and half[H2677] followed[H310] Omri[H6018].
22. But the people[H5971] that followed[H310] Omri[H6018] prevailed[H2388] against[H854] the people[H5971] that followed[H310] Tibni[H8402] the son[H1121] of Ginath[H1527]: so Tibni[H8402] died[H4191], and Omri[H6018] reigned[H4427].
23. In the thirty[H7970] and first[H259] year[H8141] of Asa[H609] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] began Omri[H6018] to reign[H4427] over Israel[H3478], and reigned twelve[H8147] years[H8141]: six[H8337] years[H8141] reigned[H4427] he in Tirzah[H8656].
24. And he bought[H7069] the hill[H2022] Samaria[H8111] of Shemer[H8106] for two talents[H3603] of silver[H3701]; and he built[H1129] on the hill[H2022], and called[H7121] the name[H8034] of the city[H5892] which he built[H1129], after the name[H8034] of Shemer[H8106], the owner[H113] of the hill[H2022], Samaria[H8111].
25. And Omri[H6018] did[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068], and dealt wickedly above[H7489] all that were before him[H6440].
26. For he walked[H3212] in all the way[H1870] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat[H5028], and in his sins[H2403] wherewith he made Israel[H3478] to sin[H2398], to provoke Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478], to anger[H3707] with their vanities[H1892].
27. Now the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Omri[H6018] which he did[H6213], and his might[H1369] that he showed[H6213], are they not written[H3789] in the book[H5612] of the chronicles[H1697] of the kings[H4428] of Israel[H3478]?
28. So Omri[H6018] slept[H7901] with his fathers[H1], and was buried[H6912] in Samaria[H8111]; and Ahab[H256] his son[H1121] reigned in his stead[H4427].
29. And in the thirty[H7970] and eighth[H8083] year[H8141] of Asa[H609] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] began Ahab[H256] the son[H1121] of Omri[H6018] to reign[H4427] over Israel[H3478]: and Ahab[H256] the son[H1121] of Omri[H6018] reigned[H4427] over Israel[H3478] in Samaria[H8111] twenty[H6242] and two[H8147] years[H8141].
30. And Ahab[H256] the son[H1121] of Omri[H6018] did[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068] above all that were before him[H6440].
31. And it came to pass[H7043], as if it had been a light thing for him to walk[H3212] in the sins[H2403] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat[H5028], that he took[H3947] to wife[H802] Jezebel[H348] the daughter[H1323] of Ethbaal[H856] king[H4428] of the Sidonians[H6722], and went[H3212] and served[H5647] Baal[H1168], and worshipped him[H7812].
32. And he reared up[H6965] an altar[H4196] for Baal[H1168] in the house[H1004] of Baal[H1168], which he had built[H1129] in Samaria[H8111].
33. And Ahab[H256] made[H6213] the Asherah[H842]; and Ahab[H256] did[H6213] yet more[H3254] to provoke Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478], to anger[H3707] than all the kings[H4428] of Israel[H3478] that were before him[H6440].
34. In his days[H3117] did Hiel[H2419] the Beth-elite[H1017] build[H1129] Jericho[H3405]: he laid the foundation[H3245] thereof with the loss of Abiram[H48] his first-born[H1060], and set up[H5324] the gates[H1817] thereof with the loss of his youngest[H6810] son Segub[H7687], according to the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068], which he spake[H1696] by[H3027] Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126].
