1 Kings 16:17-34

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.

16:29

And in the thirty
<07970> <08141>

and eighth
<08083>

year
<08141>

of Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Ahab
<0256>

the son
<01121>

of Omri
<06018>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>_:

and Ahab
<0256>

the son
<01121>

of Omri
<06018>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>

twenty
<06242>

and two
<08147>

years
<08141>_.

16:30

And Ahab
<0256>

the son
<01121>

of Omri
<06018>

did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

above all that [were] before
<06440>

him.

16:31

And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing
<07043> (8738)

for him to walk
<03212> (8800)

in the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

that he took
<03947> (8799)

to wife
<0802>

Jezebel
<0348>

the daughter
<01323>

of Ethbaal
<0856>

king
<04428>

of the Zidonians
<06722>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baal
<01168>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

him. {as if...: Heb. was it a light thing, etc}

16:32

And he reared up
<06965> (8686)

an altar
<04196>

for Baal
<01168>

in the house
<01004>

of Baal
<01168>_,

which he had built
<01129> (8804)

in Samaria
<08111>_.

16:33

And Ahab
<0256>

made
<06213> (8799)

a grove
<0842>_;

and Ahab
<0256>

did
<06213> (8800)

more
<03254> (8686)

to provoke the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

to anger
<03707> (8687)

than all the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

that were before
<06440>

him.

16:34

In his days
<03117>

did Hiel
<02419>

the Bethelite
<01017>

build
<01129> (8804)

Jericho
<03405>_:

he laid the foundation
<03245> (8765)

thereof in Abiram
<048>

his firstborn
<01060>_,

and set up
<05324> (8689)

the gates
<01817>

thereof in his youngest
<06810>

[son] Segub
<07687>_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_.
