1 Kings 16:1-28

16:1

Then the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Jehu
<03058>

the son
<01121>

of Hanani
<02607>

against Baasha
<01201>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

16:2

Forasmuch as I exalted
<07311> (8689)

thee out of the dust
<06083>_,

and made
<05414> (8799)

thee prince
<05057>

over my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_;

and thou hast walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

and hast made my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8686)_,

to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)

with their sins
<02403>_;

16:3

Behold, I will take away
<01197> (8686)

the posterity
<0310>

of Baasha
<01201>_,

and the posterity
<0310>

of his house
<01004>_;

and will make
<05414> (8804)

thy house
<01004>

like the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_.

16:4

Him that dieth
<04191> (8801)

of Baasha
<01201>

in the city
<05892>

shall the dogs
<03611>

eat
<0398> (8799)_;

and him that dieth
<04191> (8801)

of his in the fields
<07704>

shall the fowls
<05775>

of the air
<08064>

eat
<0398> (8799)_.

16:5

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Baasha
<01201>_,

and what he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his might
<01369>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

16:6

So Baasha
<01201>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in Tirzah
<08656>_:

and Elah
<0425>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

16:7

And also by the hand
<03027>

of the prophet
<05030>

Jehu
<03058>

the son
<01121>

of Hanani
<02607>

came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

against Baasha
<01201>_,

and against his house
<01004>_,

even for all the evil
<07451>

that he did
<06213> (8804)

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

in provoking him to anger
<03707> (8687)

with the work
<04639>

of his hands
<03027>_,

in being like the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_;

and because he killed
<05221> (8689)

him.

16:8

In the twenty
<06242> <08141>

and sixth
<08337>

year
<08141>

of Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Elah
<0425>

the son
<01121>

of Baasha
<01201>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Tirzah
<08656>_,

two years
<08141>_.

16:9

And his servant
<05650>

Zimri
<02174>_,

captain
<08269>

of half
<04276>

[his] chariots
<07393>_,

conspired
<07194> (8799)

against him, as he was in Tirzah
<08656>_,

drinking
<08354> (8802)

himself drunk
<07910>

in the house
<01004>

of Arza
<0777>

steward of [his] house
<01004>

in Tirzah
<08656>_.

{steward...: Heb. which was over}

16:10

And Zimri
<02174>

went in
<0935> (8799)

and smote
<05221> (8686)

him, and killed
<04191> (8686)

him, in the twenty
<06242>

and seventh
<07651>

year
<08141>

of Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

16:11

And it came to pass, when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

as soon as he sat
<03427> (8800)

on his throne
<03678>_,

[that] he slew
<05221> (8689)

all the house
<01004>

of Baasha
<01201>_:

he left
<07604> (8689)

him not one that pisseth
<08366> (8688)

against a wall
<07023>_,

neither of his kinsfolks
<01350> (8802)_,

nor of his friends
<07453>_.

{neither...: or, both his kinsmen and his friends}

16:12

Thus did Zimri
<02174>

destroy
<08045> (8686)

all the house
<01004>

of Baasha
<01201>_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

against Baasha
<01201>

by
<03027>

Jehu
<03058>

the prophet
<05030>_,

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

16:13

For all the sins
<02403>

of Baasha
<01201>_,

and the sins
<02403>

of Elah
<0425>

his son
<01121>_,

by which they sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and by which they made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_,

in provoking the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

to anger
<03707> (8687)

with their vanities
<01892>_.

16:14

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Elah
<0425>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

16:15

In the twenty
<06242> <08141>

and seventh
<07651>

year
<08141>

of Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

did Zimri
<02174>

reign
<04427> (8804)

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

in Tirzah
<08656>_.

And the people
<05971>

[were] encamped
<02583> (8802)

against Gibbethon
<01405>_,

which [belonged] to the Philistines
<06430>_.

16:16

And the people
<05971>

[that were] encamped
<02583> (8802)

heard
<08085> (8799)

say
<0559> (8800)_,

Zimri
<02174>

hath conspired
<07194> (8804)_,

and hath also slain
<05221> (8689)

the king
<04428>_:

wherefore all Israel
<03478>

made Omri
<06018>_,

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>_,

king
<04427> (8686)

over Israel
<03478>

that day
<03117>

in the camp
<04264>_.

16:17

And Omri
<06018>

went up
<05927> (8799)

from Gibbethon
<01405>_,

and all Israel
<03478>

with him, and they besieged
<06696> (8799)

Tirzah
<08656>_.

16:18

And it came to pass, when Zimri
<02174>

saw
<07200> (8800)

that the city
<05892>

was taken
<03920> (8738)_,

that he went
<0935> (8799)

into the palace
<0759>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and burnt
<08313> (8799)

the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>

over him with fire
<0784>_,

and died
<04191> (8799)_,

16:19

For his sins
<02403>

which he sinned
<02398> (8804)

in doing
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

in walking
<03212> (8800)

in the way
<01870>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

and in his sin
<02403>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_,

to make Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8687)_.

16:20

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Zimri
<02174>_,

and his treason
<07195>

that he wrought
<07194> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

16:21

Then were the people
<05971>

of Israel
<03478>

divided
<02505> (8735)

into two parts
<02677>_:

half
<02677>

of the people
<05971>

followed
<01961> (8804) <0310>

Tibni
<08402>

the son
<01121>

of Ginath
<01527>_,

to make him king
<04427> (8687)_;

and half
<02677>

followed
<0310>

Omri
<06018>_.

16:22

But the people
<05971>

that followed
<0310>

Omri
<06018>

prevailed
<02388> (8799)

against
<0854>

the people
<05971>

that followed
<0310>

Tibni
<08402>

the son
<01121>

of Ginath
<01527>_:

so Tibni
<08402>

died
<04191> (8799)_,

and Omri
<06018>

reigned
<04427> (8799)_.

16:23

In the thirty
<07970> <08141>

and first
<0259>

year
<08141>

of Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Omri
<06018>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>_,

twelve
<08147> <06240>

years
<08141>_:

six
<08337>

years
<08141>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

he in Tirzah
<08656>_.

16:24

And he bought
<07069> (8799)

the hill
<02022>

Samaria
<08111>

of Shemer
<08106>

for two talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

on the hill
<02022>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

which he built
<01129> (8804)_,

after the name
<08034>

of Shemer
<08106>_,

owner
<0113>

of the hill
<02022>_,

Samaria
<08111>_.

{Samaria: Heb. Shomeron}

16:25

But Omri
<06018>

wrought
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and did worse
<07489> (8686)

than all that [were] before
<06440>

him.

16:26

For he walked
<03212> (8799)

in all the way
<01870>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

and in his sin
<02403>

wherewith he made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_,

to provoke the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

to anger
<03707> (8687)

with their vanities
<01892>_.

16:27

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Omri
<06018>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his might
<01369>

that he shewed
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

16:28

So Omri
<06018>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in Samaria
<08111>_:

and Ahab
<0256>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.
