1 Kings 16

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jehu [the] son of Hanani on Baasha saying.

Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jehu

2 Because that I raised up you from the dust and I made you a ruler over people my Israel and you have walked - in [the] way of Jeroboam and you have caused to sin people my Israel to provoke to anger me by sins their.

son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying: Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and gave thee to be leader over my people Israel, —and yet thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and caused, my people Israel, to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins,

3 Here I [am] about to sweep away after Baasha and after house his and I will make house your like [the] house of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat.

Behold me! consuming after Baasha, and after his house, —and I will deliver up thy house, like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

4 The [one who] dies of Baasha in the city they will devour the dogs and the [one who] dies of him in the open country they will devour [the] bird[s] of the heavens.

Him that dieth of Baasha in the city, shall, the dogs, eat, and, him that dieth of his in the field, shall, the birds of heaven, eat.

5 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Baasha and [that] which he did and might his ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Israel.

Now, the rest of the story of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

6 And he lay down Baasha with ancestors his and he was buried in Tirzah and he became king Elah son his in place of him.

So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah, —and, Elah his son, reigned, in his stead.

7 And also by [the] hand of Jehu [the] son of Hanani the prophet [the] word of Yahweh it came against Baasha and against house his and on all the evil - which he had done - in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke to anger him by [the] work of hands his to be like [the] house of Jeroboam and on that he struck down it.

Moreover also, through Jehu son of Hanani the prophet, the word of Yahweh, came against Baasha and against his house, even because of all the wickedness that he had done in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, becoming like the house of Jeroboam, —notwithstanding that he smote him.

8 In year twenty and six year of Asa [the] king of Judah he became king Elah [the] son of Baasha over Israel in Tirzah two years.

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, began Elah son of Baasha to reign over Israel, in Tirzah, [and he reigned] two years.

9 And he conspired on him servant his Zimri [the] commander of half of the chariotry and he in Tirzah [was] drinking drunken [the] house of Arza who [was] over the household in Tirzah.

Then conspired against him his servant Zimri, captain of half the chariots, —as he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk, in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.

10 And he came Zimri and he struck down him and he killed him in year twenty and seven of Asa [the] king of Judah and he became king in place of him.

And Zimri went in, and smote him and slew him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, —and reigned in his stead.

11 And it was when became king he when sat he on throne his he struck down all [the] house of Baasha not he left to him [one who] urinates on a wall and kinsman redeemer his and friend his.

And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasha, he left him not even the meanest, —neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.

12 And he destroyed Zimri all [the] house of Baasha according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had spoken against Baasha by [the] hand of Jehu the prophet.

Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, —according to the word of Yahweh which he spake unto Baasha, through Jehu the prophet;

13 Because of all [the] sins of Baasha and [the] sins of Elah son his which they sinned and which they caused to sin Israel to provoke to anger Yahweh [the] God of Israel with vanities their.

as to all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, —wherewith they sinned, and wherewith they caused, Israel, to sin, provoking to anger Yahweh God of Israel, with their vanities.

14 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Elah and all that he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Israel.

Now, the rest of the story of Elah, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

15 In year twenty and seven year of Asa [the] king of Judah he became king Zimri seven days in Tirzah and the people [were] encamped on Gibbethon which [belonged] to the Philistines.

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, did Zimri reign, seven days in Tirzah, —but, the people, were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistine.

16 And it heard the people that were encamping saying he has conspired Zimri and also he has struck down the king and they made king all Israel Omri [the] commander of [the] army over Israel on the day that in the camp.

When therefore the people who were encamped, heard say, Zimri hath conspired, moreover also, he hath smitten the king, all Israel made Omri, general of the army, king over Israel, on that day, in the camp.

17 And he went up Omri and all Israel with him from Gibbethon and they laid siege on Tirzah.

So Omri, and all Israel with him, went up from Gibbethon, —and laid siege against Tirzah.

18 And it was when saw Zimri that it was captured the city and he went into [the] fortress of [the] house of the king and he burned over himself [the] house of [the] king with fire and he died.

And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was captured, that he entered into the citadel of the house of the king, —and burned over him the house of the king, with fire, and died:

19 On (sins his *Q(K)*) which he sinned by doing the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh by walking in [the] way of Jeroboam and in sin his which he did to cause to sin Israel.

because of his sins which he committed by doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —by walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he committed, by causing, Israel, to sin.

20 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Zimri and conspiracy his which he conspired ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Israel.

Now, the rest of the story of Zimri, and his conspiracy wherein he conspired, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

21 Then it was divided the people Israel into the half half of the people it was behind Tibni [the] son of Ginath to make king him and half [was] behind Omri.

Then, were the people of Israel divided, —half the people, were following Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and, half, following Omri.

22 And it prevailed over the people which [was] after Omri the people which [was] after Tibni [the] son of Ginath and he died Tibni and he became king Omri.

But, the people that followed Omri, prevailed against, the people that followed Tibni son of Ginath; so that, Tibni, died, and, Omri, reigned.

23 In year thirty and one year of Asa [the] king of Judah he became king Omri over Israel two [plus] ten year[s] in Tirzah he reigned six years.

In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, began Omri to reign over Israel [and he reigned] twelve years: in Tirzah, reigned he six years.

24 And he bought the hill Samaria from with Shemer for two talents silver and he built the hill and he called [the] name of the city which he built on [the] name of Shemer [the] owner of the hill Samaria.

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 lord of the hill—Samaria.

25 And he did Omri the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he did evil more than all [those] who [were] before him.

And Omri did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and did more wickedly than all who were before him;

26 And he walked in all [the] way of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat (and in sin his *Q(K)*) which he caused to sin Israel to provoke to anger Yahweh [the] God of Israel with vanities their.

yea he walked in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin, —provoking to anger Yahweh, God of Israel, with their vanities.

27 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Omri which he did and might his which he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Israel.

Now, the rest of the story of Omri, what he did, and his might that he shewed, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

28 And he lay down Omri with ancestors his and he was buried in Samaria and he became king Ahab son his in place of him.

So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, —and, Ahab his son, reigned, in his stead.

29 And Ahab [the] son of Omri he became king over Israel in year thirty and eight year of Asa [the] king of Judah and he reigned Ahab [the] son of Omri over Israel in Samaria twenty and two year[s].

Now, Ahab son of Omri, began to reign over Israel, in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, —and Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel, in Samaria, twenty-two years.

30 And he did Ahab [the] son of Omri the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh more than all [those] who [were] before him.

And Ahab son of Omri did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and did more wickedly than all that were before him.

31 And it was ¿ was it trifling to walk he in [the] sins of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat and he took a wife Jezebel [the] daughter of Ethbaal [the] king of [the] Sidonians and he went and he served Baal and he bowed down to it.

And it come to pass, as though it had been too light a thing that he should walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and bowed down to him.

32 And he set up an altar to Baal [the] house of Baal which he built in Samaria.

And he reared an altar unto Baal, —in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria.

33 And he made Ahab Asherah pole and he increased Ahab to do to provoke to anger Yahweh [the] God of Israel more than all [the] kings of Israel who they were before him.

And Ahab made the Sacred Stem, —and Ahab did yet more to provoke to anger Yahweh God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

34 In days his he rebuilt Hiel [the] Beth-elite Jericho by Abiram firstborn his he founded it (and by Segub *Q(K)*) young [son] his he set up gates its according to [the] word of Yahweh which he spoke by [the] hand of Joshua [the] son of Nun.

In his days, did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho, —At the price of Abiram his firstborn, he laid its foundation, and, at the price of Segub his youngest, he set up its doors, according to the word of Yahweh which he spake through Joshua son of Nun.
