1

Now the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to  aJehuh3058 the sonh1121 of  bHananih2607 againsth5921 Baashah1201, sayingh559,

2

"Inasmuchh3282h834 as I  aexaltedh7311 you from the dusth6083 and madeh5414 you leaderh5057 overh5921 My peopleh5971a Israelh3478, and  byou have walkedh1980 in the wayh1870 of Jeroboamh3379 and have made My peopleh5971a Israelh3478 sinh2398, provokingh3707 Me to angerh3707 with their sinsh2403b,

3

beholdh2009,  aI will consumeh1197a  bBaashah1201 and his househ1004, and  cI will makeh5414 your househ1004 like the househ1004 of Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028.

4

aAnyone of Baashah1201 who diesh4191 in the cityh5892b the dogsh3611 will eath398, and anyone of his who diesh4191 in the fieldh7704 the birdsh5775 of the heavensh8064 will eath398."

5

 aNow the resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Baashah1201 and whath834 he didh6213a and his mighth1369, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Israelh3478?

The Israelite Kings

6

And Baashah1201 slepth7901 with his fathersh1 and was buriedh6912 in  aTirzahh8656, and Elahh425 his sonh1121 becameh4427a kingh4427a in his placeh8478.

7

Moreoverh1571, the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 throughh3027  athe propheth5030 Jehuh3058 the sonh1121 of Hananih2607 alsoh1571 cameh1961 againsth413 Baashah1201 and his householdh1004, both becauseh5921 of allh3605 the evilh7463a whichh834 he didh6213a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, provokingh3707 Him to angerh3707 with  bthe workh4639 of his handsh3027, in beingh1961 like the househ1004 of Jeroboamh3379, and becauseh5921h834  che struckh5221  1it.

8

In the twenty-sixthh6242h8337a yearh8141 of Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, Elahh425 the sonh1121 of Baashah1201 becameh4427a kingh4427a overh5921 Israelh3478 at Tirzahh8656, and reigned two yearsh8141.

9

His servanth5650  aZimrih2174a, commanderh8269 of halfh4276 his chariotsh7393, conspiredh7194 againsth5921 him. Now he was at Tirzahh8656 drinkingh8354 himself drunkh7910 in the househ1004 of Arzah777,  bwhoh834 was overh5921 the householdh1004 at Tirzahh8656.

10

Then Zimrih2174a wenth935 in and struckh5221 him and puth4191 him to deathh4191 in the twenty-seventhh6242h7651 yearh8141 of Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, and becameh4427a kingh4427a in his placeh8478.

11

It cameh1961 about when he becameh4427a kingh4427a, as soon as he sath3427 on his throneh3678, that  ahe  1killedh5221 allh3605 the householdh1004 of Baashah1201; he did not leaveh7604  2a single maleh8366h7023, neither of his  3relativesh1350 nor of his friendsh7453.

12

Thus Zimrih2174a destroyedh8045 allh3605 the householdh1004 of Baashah1201,  aaccording to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, whichh834 He spokeh1696 againsth413 Baashah1201 throughh3027  bJehuh3058 the propheth5030,

13

for allh3605 the sinsh2403b of Baashah1201 and the sinsh2403b of Elahh425 his sonh1121, whichh834 they sinnedh2398 and whichh834 they made Israelh3478 sinh2398,  aprovokingh3707 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 to angerh3707 with their  1idolsh1892.

14

 aNow the resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Elahh425 and allh3605 that he didh6213a, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Israelh3478?

15

In the twenty-seventhh6242h7651 yearh8141 of Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, Zimrih2174a reignedh4427a sevenh7651 daysh3117 at Tirzahh8656. Now the peopleh5971a were campedh2583 againsth5921  aGibbethonh1405, whichh834 belonged to the Philistinesh6430.

16

The peopleh5971a who were campedh2583 heardh8085  1it saidh559, "Zimrih2174a has conspiredh7194 and has alsoh1571 struckh5221 downh5221 the kingh4428." Therefore allh3605 Israelh3478 madeh4427a Omrih6018, the commanderh8269 of the armyh6635, kingh4427a overh5921 Israelh3478 that dayh3117 in the camph4264.

17

Then Omrih6018 and allh3605 Israelh3478 with him wenth5927 up from Gibbethonh1405 and besiegedh6696ah5921 Tirzahh8656.

18

When Zimrih2174a sawh7200 that the cityh5892b was takenh3920, he wenth935 into the citadelh759 of the king'sh4428 househ1004 and burnedh8313 the king'sh4428 househ1004 overh5921 him with fireh784, and  adiedh4191,

19

becauseh5921 of his sinsh2403b whichh834 he sinnedh2398, doingh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068,  awalkingh1980 in the wayh1870 of Jeroboamh3379, and in his sinh2403b whichh834 he didh6213a, making Israelh3478 sinh2398.

20

 aNow the resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Zimrih2174a and his conspiracyh7195 whichh834 he  1carriedh7194 out, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Israelh3478?

21

Thenh227 the peopleh5971a of Israelh3478 were dividedh2505a into twoh2677 partsh2677: halfh2677 of the peopleh5971a followedh1961h310 Tibnih8402 the sonh1121 of Ginathh1527, to makeh4427a him kingh4427a; the other halfh2677 followedh310 Omrih6018.

22

But the peopleh5971a whoh834 followedh310 Omrih6018 prevailedh2388 overh2388 the peopleh5971a whoh834 followedh310 Tibnih8402 the sonh1121 of Ginathh1527. And Tibnih8402 diedh4191 and Omrih6018 becameh4427a kingh4427a.

23

In the thirty-firsth7970h259 yearh8141 of Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, Omrih6018 becameh4427a kingh4427a overh5921 Israelh3478 and reigned twelveh8147h6240 yearsh8141; he reignedh4427a sixh8337a yearsh8141 at  aTirzahh8656.

24

He boughth7069 the hillh2022  1Samariah8111 from Shemerh8106 for two talentsh3603 of silverh3701; and he builth1129 on the hillh2022, and namedh7121h8034 the cityh5892b whichh834 he builth1129  1 aSamariah8111, afterh5921 the nameh8034 of Shemerh8106, the ownerh113 of the hillh2022.

25

 aOmrih6018 didh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, and  bactedh7489a moreh4480 wickedlyh7489a thanh4480 allh3605 whoh834 were beforeh6440 him.

26

For he  awalkedh1980 in allh3605 the wayh1870 of Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028 and in his sinsh2403b whichh834 he made Israelh3478 sinh2398, provokingh3707 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 with their  1idolsh1892.

27

Now the resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Omrih6018 whichh834 he didh6213a and his mighth1369 whichh834 he  1showedh6213a, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Israelh3478?

28

So Omrih6018 slepth7901 with his fathersh1 and was buriedh6912 in Samariah8111; and Ahabh256 his sonh1121 becameh4427a kingh4427a in his placeh8478.

29

Now Ahabh256 the sonh1121 of Omrih6018 becameh4427a kingh4427a overh5921 Israelh3478 in the thirty-eighthh7970h8083 yearh8141 of Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, and Ahabh256 the sonh1121 of Omrih6018 reignedh4427a overh5921 Israelh3478 in Samariah8111 twenty-twoh6242h8147 yearsh8141.

30

Ahabh256 the sonh1121 of Omrih6018 didh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068  amoreh4480 thanh4480 allh3605 whoh834 were beforeh6440 him.

31

It cameh1961 about, as though it had been a trivialh7043 thingh7043 for him to walkh1980 in the sinsh2403b of Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028, that  ahe marriedh3947h802 Jezebelh348 the daughterh1323 of Ethbaalh856 kingh4428 of the  bSidoniansh6722, and wenth1980 to serveh5647 Baalh1168a and worshipedh7812 him.

32

So he erectedh6965 an altarh4196 for Baalh1168a in  athe househ1004 of Baalh1168a whichh834 he builth1129 in Samariah8111.

33

Ahabh256 also madeh6213a  athe  1Asherahh842. Thus  bAhabh256 didh6213a moreh3254 to provokeh3707 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 thanh4480 allh3605 the kingsh4428 of Israelh3478 whoh834 were beforeh6440 him.

34

 aIn his daysh3117 Hielh2419 the Betheliteh1017 builth1129 Jerichoh3405; he laidh3245 its foundationsh3245 with the loss of Abiramh48 his firstbornh1060, and seth5324 up its gatesh1817 with the loss of his youngesth6810 son Segubh7687, according to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, whichh834 He spokeh1696 by Joshuah3091 the sonh1121 of Nunh5126.
