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>_,

<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>_?

<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>_?
