Book 11 : 1 KINGS - Chapter 016
016:001
Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee
prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way
of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke
me to anger with their sins
016:002
Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the
posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house
of Jeroboam the son of Nebat
016:003
Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and
him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air
eat
016:004
Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his
might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of
the kings of Israel
016:005
So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah:
and Elah his son reigned in his stead
016:006
And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani
came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his
house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the
LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in
being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him
016:007
In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah
the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years
016:008
And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired
against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in
the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah
016:009
And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty
and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his
stead
016:010
And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat
on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left
him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his
kinsfolks, nor of his friends
016:011
Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to
the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu
the prophet
016:012
For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by
which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in
provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities
016:013
Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel
016:014
In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri
reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped
against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines
016:015
And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath
conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel
made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day
in the camp
016:016
And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and
they besieged Tirzah
016:017
And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken,
that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt
the king's house over him with fire, and died
016:018
For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the
LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which
he did, to make Israel to sin
016:019
Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he
wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of
the kings of Israel
016:020
Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of
the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king;
and half followed Omri
016:021
But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people
that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri
reigned
016:022
In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri
to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in
Tirzah
016:023
And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of
silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city
which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill,
Samaria
016:024
But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse
than all that were before him
016:025
For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and
in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the
LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities
016:026
Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might
that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel
016:027
So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and
Ahab his son reigned in his stead
016:028
And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began
Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of
Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years
016:029
And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD
above all that were before him
016:030
And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him
to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took
to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians,
and went and served Baal, and worshipped him
016:031
And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which
he had built in Samaria
016:032
And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD
God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were
before him
016:033
In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the
foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the
gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word
of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun
