| [1]Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, |
[1]And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Ju son of Anani to Baasa, saying, |
| [2]Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee captain over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their sins, |
[2]Forasmuch as I lifted thee up from the earth, and made thee ruler over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast caused my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their vanities; |
| [3]Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house, and will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. |
[3]Behold, I raise up enemies after Baasa, and after his house; and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nabat. |
| [4]He that dieth of Baasha's stock in the city, him shall the dogs eat: and that man of him which dieth in the fields, shall the fowls of the air eat. |
[4]Him the dies of Baasa in the city the dogs shall devour, and him that dies of his in the field the birds of the sky shall devour. |
| [5]And the rest of the acts of Baasha and what he did, and his power, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? |
[5]Now the rest of the history of Baasa, and all that he did, and his mighty acts, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? |
| [6]So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son reigned in his stead. |
[6]And Baasa slept with his fathers, and they bury him in Thersa; and Ela his son reigns in his stead. |
| [7]And also by the hand of Jehu the son of Hanani the prophet, came the word of the Lord to Baasha, and to his house, that he should be like the house of Jeroboam, even for all the wickedness that he did in the sight of the Lord, in provoking him with the work of his hands, and because he killed him. |
[7]And the Lord spoke by Ju the son of Anani against Baasa, and against his house, even all the evil which he wrought before the Lord to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he smote him. |
| [8]In the six and twenty year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two year. |
[8]And Ela son of Baasa reigned over Israel two years in Thersa. |
| [9]And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah drinking, till he was drunken in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah. |
[9]And Zambri, captain of half his cavalry, conspired against him, while he was in Thersa, drinking himself drunk in the house of Osa the steward at Thersa. |
| [10]And Zimri came and smote him and killed him, in the seven and twenty year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead. |
[10]And Zambri went in and smote him and slew him, and reigned in his stead. |
| [11]And when he was king, and sat on his throne, he slew all the house of Baasha, not leaving thereof one to piss against a wall, neither of his kinsfolk nor of his friends. |
[11]And it came to pass when he reigned, when he sat upon his throne, |
| [12]So did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the Lord which he spake against Baasha by the hand of Jehu the prophet, |
[12]that he smote all the house of Baasa, according to the word which the Lord spoke against the house of Baasa, and to Ju the prophet, |
| [13]For all the sins of Baasha, and sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and made Israel to sin, and provoked the Lord God of Israel with their vanities. |
[13]for all the sins of Baasa and Ela his son, as he led Israel astray to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel with their vanities. |
| [14]And 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? |
[14]And the rest of the deeds of Ela which he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? |
| [15]In the seven and twenty year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah, and the people was then in the host besieging Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. |
[15]And Zambri reigned in Thersa seven days: and the army of Israel was encamped against Gabathon of the Philistines. |
| [16]And the people of the host 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 same day, even in the host. |
[16]And the people heard in the army, saying, Zambri has conspired and smitten the king: and the people of Israel made Ambri the captain of the host king in that day in the camp over Israel. |
| [17]Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. |
[17]And Ambri went up, and all Israel with him, out of Gabathon; and they besieged Thersa. |
| [18]And when Zimri saw, that the city was taken, he went into the palace of the king's house, and burned himself, and the king's house with fire, and so died, |
[18]And it came to pass when Zambri saw that his city was taken, that he goes into the inner chamber of the house of the king, and burnt the king's house over him, and died. |
| [19]For his sins which he sinned, in doing that which is evil in the sight of the Lord, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sins which he did, causing Israel to sin. |
[19]Because of his sins which he committed, doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, so as to walk in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin. |
| [20]And 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? |
[20]And the rest of the history of Zambri, and his conspiracies wherein he conspired, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? |
| [21]Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: for half the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath to make him king, and the other half followed Omri. |
[21]Then the people of Israel divides; half the people goes after Thamni the son of Gonath to make him king; and half the people goes after Ambri. |
| [22]But the people that followed Omri, prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. |
[22]The people that followed Ambri overpowered the people that followed Thamni son of Gonath; and Thamni died and Joram his brother at that time, and Ambri reigned after Thamni. |
| [23]In the one and thirty year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, and reigned twelve year. Six year reigned he in Tirzah. |
[23]In the thirty-first year of king Asa, Ambri begins to reign over Israel twelve years: he reigns six years in Thersa. |
| [24]And he bought the mountain Samaria of one Shemer for two talents of silver, and built in the mountain, and called the name of the city, which he built, after the name of Shemer lord of the mountain, Samaria. |
[24]And Ambri bought the mount Semeron of Semer the lord of the mountain for two talents of silver; and he built upon the mountain, and they called the name of the mountain on which he built, after the name of Semer the lord of the mount, Semeron. |
| [25]But Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him. |
[25]And Ambri did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and wrought wickedly beyond all that were before him. |
| [26]For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin in provoking the Lord God of Israel with their vanities. |
[26]And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherewith he caused Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel by their vanities. |
| [27]And the rest of the acts of Omri, that he did, and his strength that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? |
[27]And the rest of the acts of Ambri, and all that he did, and all his might, behold, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? |
| [28]And Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead. |
[28]And Ambri slept with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria; and Achaab his son reigns in his stead.
And in the eleventh year of Ambri Josaphat the son of Asa reigns, being thirty-five years old in the beginning of his reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Gazuba, daughter of Seli.
And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not from it, even from doing right in the eyes of the Lord: only they removed not any of the high places; they sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
Now the engagements which Josaphat made with the king of Israel, and all his mighty deeds which he performed, and the enemies whom he fought against, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
And the remains of the prostitution which they practiced in the days of Asa his father, he removed out of the land:
And there was no king in Syria, but a deputy.
And king Josaphat made a ship at Tharsis to go to Sophir for gold: but it went not, for the ship was broken at Gasion Gaber.
Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat, I will send forth thy servants and my servants in the ship: but Josaphat would not.
And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead. |
| [29]Now Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, in the eight and thirty year of Asa king of Judah: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria two and twenty year. |
[29]In the second year of Josaphat king of Juda, Achaab son of Ambri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. |
| [30]And Ahab the son of Omri did worse in the sight of the Lord than all that were before him. |
[30]And Achaab did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did more wickedly than all that were before him. |
| [31]For was it a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, except he took Jezebel also the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians to wife, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him? |
[31]And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, but he took to wife, Jezabel the daughter of Jethebaal king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal, and worshiped him. |
| [32]Also he reared up an altar to Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. |
[32]And he set up an alter to Baal, in the house of his abominations, which he built in Samaria. |
| [33]And Ahab made a grove, and Ahab proceeded, and did provoke the Lord God of Israel more than all the kings of Israel that were before him. |
[33]And Achaab made a grove; and Achaab did yet more abominably, to provoke the Lord God of Israel, and to sin against his own life so that he should be destroyed: he did evil above all the kings of Israel that were before him. |
| [34]In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his eldest son, 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. |
[34]And in his days Achiel the Baethelite built Jericho: he laid the foundation of it in Abiron his first-born, and he set up the doors of it in Segub his younger son, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by Joshua the son of Naue. |
