1 Kings 16:15-28

In the twenty
<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>_.
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>_.
And Omri
<06018>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from Gibbethon
<01405>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, and they besieged
<06696> (8799)
Tirzah
<08656>_.
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)_,
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)_.
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>_?
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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}
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.
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>_.
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>_?
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.
