KJV_Strong : 1 Kings 16
1. Then the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] to[H413] Jehu[H3058] the son[H1121] of Hanani[H2607] against[H5921] Baasha,[H1201] saying,[H559]
2. Forasmuch[H3282] [H834] as I exalted[H7311] thee out of[H4480] the dust,[H6083] and made[H5414] thee prince[H5057] over[H5921] my people[H5971] Israel;[H3478] and thou hast walked[H1980] in the way[H1870] of Jeroboam,[H3379] and hast made[H853] my people[H5971] Israel[H3478] to sin,[H2398] to provoke me to anger[H3707] with their sins;[H2403]
3. Behold,[H2009] I will take away[H1197] the posterity[H310] of Baasha,[H1201] and the posterity[H310] of his house;[H1004] and will make[H5414] [H853] 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 fields[H7704] shall the fowls[H5775] of the air[H8064] eat.[H398]
5. Now the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Baasha,[H1201] and what[H834] he did,[H6213] and his might,[H1369] are they[H1992] not[H3808] written[H3789] in[H5921] the book[H5612] of the chronicles[H1697] [H3117] of the kings[H4428] of Israel?[H3478]
6. So Baasha[H1201] slept[H7901] with[H5973] his fathers,[H1] and was buried[H6912] in Tirzah:[H8656] and Elah[H425] his son[H1121] reigned[H4427] in his stead.[H8478]
7. And also[H1571] by the hand[H3027] of the prophet[H5030] Jehu[H3058] the son[H1121] of Hanani[H2607] came[H1961] the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] against[H413] Baasha,[H1201] and against[H413] his house,[H1004] even for[H5921] all[H3605] the evil[H7451] that[H834] he did[H6213] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD,[H3068] in provoking him to anger[H3707] with the work[H4639] of his hands,[H3027] in being[H1961] like the house[H1004] of Jeroboam;[H3379] and because[H5921] [H834] he killed[H5221] him.
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[H5921] Israel[H3478] in Tirzah,[H8656] two years.[H8141]
9. And his servant[H5650] Zimri,[H2174] captain[H8269] of half[H4276] his chariots,[H7393] conspired[H7194] against[H5921] him, as he[H1931] was in Tirzah,[H8656] drinking[H8354] himself drunk[H7910] in the house[H1004] of Arza[H777] steward[H5921] of his house[H1004] in Tirzah.[H8656]
10. And Zimri[H2174] went in[H935] and smote[H5221] him, and killed[H4191] him, in the twenty[H6242] and seventh[H7651] year[H8141] of Asa[H609] king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] and reigned[H4427] in his stead.[H8478]
11. And it came to pass,[H1961] when he began to reign,[H4427] as soon as he sat[H3427] on[H5921] his throne,[H3678] that he slew[H5221] [H853] all[H3605] the house[H1004] of Baasha:[H1201] he left[H7604] him not[H3808] one that pisseth[H8366] against a wall,[H7023] neither of his kinsfolk,[H1350] nor of his friends.[H7453]
12. Thus did Zimri[H2174] destroy[H8045] [H853] all[H3605] the house[H1004] of Baasha,[H1201] according to the word[H1697] of the LORD,[H3068] which[H834] he spoke[H1696] against[H413] Baasha[H1201] by[H3027] Jehu[H3058] the prophet,[H5030]
13. For[H413] all[H3605] the sins[H2403] of Baasha,[H1201] and the sins[H2403] of Elah[H425] his son,[H1121] by which[H834] they sinned,[H2398] and by which[H834] they made Israel to sin,[H2398] [H853] [H3478] in provoking[H3707] [H853] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel[H3478] to anger with their vanities.[H1892]
14. Now the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Elah,[H425] and all[H3605] that[H834] he did,[H6213] are they[H1992] not[H3808] written[H3789] in[H5921] the book[H5612] of the chronicles[H1697] [H3117] 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] And the people[H5971] were encamped[H2583] against[H5921] Gibbethon,[H1405] which[H834] 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[H1571] slain[H5221] [H853] the king:[H4428] wherefore all[H3605] Israel[H3478] made[H853] Omri,[H6018] the captain[H8269] of the host,[H6635] king[H4427] over[H5921] Israel[H3478] that[H1931] day[H3117] in the camp.[H4264]
17. And Omri[H6018] went up[H5927] from[H4480] Gibbethon,[H1405] and all[H3605] Israel[H3478] with[H5973] him, and they besieged[H6696] [H5921] Tirzah.[H8656]
18. And it came to pass,[H1961] when Zimri[H2174] saw[H7200] that[H3588] the city[H5892] was taken,[H3920] that he went[H935] into[H413] the palace[H759] of the king's[H4428] house,[H1004] and burnt[H8313] [H853] the king's[H4428] house[H1004] over[H5921] him with fire,[H784] and died,[H4191]
19. For[H5921] his sins[H2403] which[H834] he sinned[H2398] in doing[H6213] evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD,[H3068] in walking[H1980] in the way[H1870] of Jeroboam,[H3379] and in his sin[H2403] which[H834] he did,[H6213] to make Israel to sin.[H2398] [H853] [H3478]
20. Now the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Zimri,[H2174] and his treason[H7195] that[H834] he wrought,[H7194] are they[H1992] not[H3808] written[H3789] in[H5921] the book[H5612] of the chronicles[H1697] [H3117] of the kings[H4428] of Israel?[H3478]
21. Then[H227] were the people[H5971] of Israel[H3478] divided[H2505] into two parts:[H2677] half[H2677] of the people[H5971] followed[H1961] [H310] 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[H834] followed[H310] Omri[H6018] prevailed against[H2388] [H853] the people[H5971] that[H834] 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[H5921] Israel,[H3478] twelve[H8147] [H6240] years:[H8141] six[H8337] years[H8141] reigned[H4427] he in Tirzah.[H8656]
24. And he bought[H7069] [H853] the hill[H2022] Samaria[H8111] of[H4480] [H854] Shemer[H8106] for two talents[H3603] of silver,[H3701] and built on[H1129] [H853] the hill,[H2022] and called[H7121] [H853] the name[H8034] of the city[H5892] which[H834] he built,[H1129] after[H5921] the name[H8034] of Shemer,[H8106] owner[H113] of the hill,[H2022] Samaria.[H8111]
25. But Omri[H6018] wrought[H6213] evil[H7451] in the eyes[H5869] of the LORD,[H3068] and did worse[H7489] than all[H4480] [H3605] that[H834] were before[H6440] him.
26. For he walked[H1980] in all[H3605] the way[H1870] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat,[H5028] and in his sin[H2403] wherewith[H834] he made Israel to sin,[H2398] [H853] [H3478] to provoke[H3707] [H853] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel[H3478] to anger with their vanities.[H1892]
27. Now the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Omri[H6018] which[H834] he did,[H6213] and his might[H1369] that[H834] he showed,[H6213] are they[H1992] not[H3808] written[H3789] in[H5921] the book[H5612] of the chronicles[H1697] [H3117] of the kings[H4428] of Israel?[H3478]
28. So Omri[H6018] slept[H7901] with[H5973] his fathers,[H1] and was buried[H6912] in Samaria:[H8111] and Ahab[H256] his son[H1121] reigned[H4427] in his stead.[H8478]
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[H5921] Israel:[H3478] and Ahab[H256] the son[H1121] of Omri[H6018] reigned[H4427] over[H5921] Israel[H3478] in Samaria[H8111] twenty[H6242] and two[H8147] years.[H8141]
30. And Ahab[H256] the son[H1121] of Omri[H6018] did[H6213] evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068] above all[H4480] [H3605] that[H834] were before[H6440] him.
31. And it came to pass,[H1961] as if it had been a light thing[H7043] for him to walk[H1980] in the sins[H2403] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat,[H5028] that he took[H3947] to wife[H802] [H853] Jezebel[H348] the daughter[H1323] of Ethbaal[H856] king[H4428] of the Zidonians,[H6722] and went[H1980] and served[H5647] [H853] Baal,[H1168] and worshiped[H7812] him.
32. And he reared up[H6965] an altar[H4196] for Baal[H1168] in the house[H1004] of Baal,[H1168] which[H834] he had built[H1129] in Samaria.[H8111]
33. And Ahab[H256] made[H6213] [H853] a grove;[H842] and Ahab[H256] did[H6213] more[H3254] to provoke[H3707] [H853] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel[H3478] to anger than all[H4480] [H3605] the kings[H4428] of Israel[H3478] that[H834] were[H1961] before[H6440] him.
34. In his days[H3117] did Hiel[H2419] the Bethelite[H1017] build[H1129] [H853] Jericho:[H3405] he laid the foundation[H3245] thereof in Abiram[H48] his firstborn,[H1060] and set up[H5324] the gates[H1817] thereof in his youngest[H6810] son Segub,[H7687] according to the word[H1697] of the LORD,[H3068] which[H834] he spoke[H1696] by[H3027] Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun.[H5126]
