1st Kings Chapter 16 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Then the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> came to Jehu <H3058> the son <H1121> of Hanani <H2607> against Baasha, <H1201> saying, <H0559>
2: Forasmuch as I exalted <H7311> thee out of the dust, <H6083> and made <H5414> thee prince <H5057> over my people <H5971> Israel; <H3478> and thou hast walked <H3212> in the way <H1870> of Jeroboam, <H3379> and hast made my people <H5971> Israel <H3478> to sin, <H2398> to provoke me to anger <H3707> with their sins; <H2403>
3: Behold, I will take away <H1197> the posterity <H0310> of Baasha, <H1201> and the posterity <H0310> of his house; <H1004> and will make <H5414> thy house <H1004> like the house <H1004> of Jeroboam <H3379> the son <H1121> of Nebat. <H5028>
4: Him that dieth <H4191> of Baasha <H1201> in the city <H5892> shall the dogs <H3611> eat; <H0398> and him that dieth <H4191> of his in the fields <H7704> shall the fowls <H5775> of the air <H8064> eat. <H0398>
5: Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Baasha, <H1201> and what he did, <H6213> and his might, <H1369> [are] they not written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the chronicles <H1697> <H3117> of the kings <H4428> of Israel? <H3478>
6: So Baasha <H1201> slept <H7901> with his fathers, <H0001> and was buried <H6912> in Tirzah: <H8656> and Elah <H0425> his son <H1121> reigned <H4427> in his stead.
7: And also by the hand <H3027> of the prophet <H5030> Jehu <H3058> the son <H1121> of Hanani <H2607> came the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> against Baasha, <H1201> and against his house, <H1004> even for all the evil <H7451> that he did <H6213> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> in provoking him to anger <H3707> with the work <H4639> of his hands, <H3027> in being like the house <H1004> of Jeroboam; <H3379> and because he killed <H5221> him.
8: In the twenty <H6242> <H8141> and sixth <H8337> year <H8141> of Asa <H0609> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> began Elah <H0425> the son <H1121> of Baasha <H1201> to reign <H4427> over Israel <H3478> in Tirzah, <H8656> two years. <H8141>
9: And his servant <H5650> Zimri, <H2174> captain <H8269> of half <H4276> [his] chariots, <H7393> conspired <H7194> against him, as he was in Tirzah, <H8656> drinking <H8354> himself drunk <H7910> in the house <H1004> of Arza <H0777> steward of [his] house <H1004> in Tirzah. <H8656>
10: And Zimri <H2174> went in <H0935> and smote <H5221> him, and killed <H4191> him, in the twenty <H6242> and seventh <H7651> year <H8141> of Asa <H0609> king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> and reigned <H4427> in his stead.
11: And it came to pass, when he began to reign, <H4427> as soon as he sat <H3427> on his throne, <H3678> [that] he slew <H5221> all the house <H1004> of Baasha: <H1201> he left <H7604> him not one that pisseth <H8366> against a wall, <H7023> neither of his kinsfolks, <H1350> nor of his friends. <H7453>
12: Thus did Zimri <H2174> destroy <H8045> all the house <H1004> of Baasha, <H1201> according to the word <H1697> of the LORD, <H3068> which he spake <H1696> against Baasha <H1201> by <H3027> Jehu <H3058> the prophet, <H5030>
13: For all the sins <H2403> of Baasha, <H1201> and the sins <H2403> of Elah <H0425> his son, <H1121> by which they sinned, <H2398> and by which they made Israel <H3478> to sin, <H2398> in provoking the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> to anger <H3707> with their vanities. <H1892>
14: Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Elah, <H0425> and all that he did, <H6213> [are] they not written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the chronicles <H1697> <H3117> of the kings <H4428> of Israel? <H3478>
15: In the twenty <H6242> <H8141> and seventh <H7651> year <H8141> of Asa <H0609> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> did Zimri <H2174> reign <H4427> seven <H7651> days <H3117> in Tirzah. <H8656> And the people <H5971> [were] encamped <H2583> against Gibbethon, <H1405> which [belonged] to the Philistines. <H6430>
16: And the people <H5971> [that were] encamped <H2583> heard <H8085> say, <H0559> Zimri <H2174> hath conspired, <H7194> and hath also slain <H5221> the king: <H4428> wherefore all Israel <H3478> made Omri, <H6018> the captain <H8269> of the host, <H6635> king <H4427> over Israel <H3478> that day <H3117> in the camp. <H4264>
17: And Omri <H6018> went up <H5927> from Gibbethon, <H1405> and all Israel <H3478> with him, and they besieged <H6696> Tirzah. <H8656>
18: And it came to pass, when Zimri <H2174> saw <H7200> that the city <H5892> was taken, <H3920> that he went <H0935> into the palace <H0759> of the king's <H4428> house, <H1004> and burnt <H8313> the king's <H4428> house <H1004> over him with fire, <H0784> and died, <H4191>
19: For his sins <H2403> which he sinned <H2398> in doing <H6213> evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> in walking <H3212> in the way <H1870> of Jeroboam, <H3379> and in his sin <H2403> which he did, <H6213> to make Israel <H3478> to sin. <H2398>
20: Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Zimri, <H2174> and his treason <H7195> that he wrought, <H7194> [are] they not written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the chronicles <H1697> <H3117> of the kings <H4428> of Israel? <H3478>
21: Then were the people <H5971> of Israel <H3478> divided <H2505> into two parts: <H2677> half <H2677> of the people <H5971> followed <H1961> <H0310> Tibni <H8402> the son <H1121> of Ginath, <H1527> to make him king; <H4427> and half <H2677> followed <H0310> Omri. <H6018>
22: But the people <H5971> that followed <H0310> Omri <H6018> prevailed <H2388> against <H0854> the people <H5971> that followed <H0310> Tibni <H8402> the son <H1121> of Ginath: <H1527> so Tibni <H8402> died, <H4191> and Omri <H6018> reigned. <H4427>
23: In the thirty <H7970> <H8141> and first <H0259> year <H8141> of Asa <H0609> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> began Omri <H6018> to reign <H4427> over Israel, <H3478> twelve <H8147> <H6240> years: <H8141> six <H8337> years <H8141> reigned <H4427> he in Tirzah. <H8656>
24: And he bought <H7069> the hill <H2022> Samaria <H8111> of Shemer <H8106> for two talents <H3603> of silver, <H3701> and built <H1129> on the hill, <H2022> and called <H7121> the name <H8034> of the city <H5892> which he built, <H1129> after the name <H8034> of Shemer, <H8106> owner <H0113> of the hill, <H2022> Samaria. <H8111>
25: But Omri <H6018> wrought <H6213> evil <H7451> in the eyes <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> and did worse <H7489> than all that [were] before <H6440> him.
26: For he walked <H3212> in all the way <H1870> of Jeroboam <H3379> the son <H1121> of Nebat, <H5028> and in his sin <H2403> wherewith he made Israel <H3478> to sin, <H2398> to provoke the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> to anger <H3707> with their vanities. <H1892>
27: Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Omri <H6018> which he did, <H6213> and his might <H1369> that he shewed, <H6213> [are] they not written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the chronicles <H1697> <H3117> of the kings <H4428> of Israel? <H3478>
28: So Omri <H6018> slept <H7901> with his fathers, <H0001> and was buried <H6912> in Samaria: <H8111> and Ahab <H0256> his son <H1121> reigned <H4427> in his stead.
29: And in the thirty <H7970> <H8141> and eighth <H8083> year <H8141> of Asa <H0609> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> began Ahab <H0256> the son <H1121> of Omri <H6018> to reign <H4427> over Israel: <H3478> and Ahab <H0256> the son <H1121> of Omri <H6018> reigned <H4427> over Israel <H3478> in Samaria <H8111> twenty <H6242> and two <H8147> years. <H8141>
30: And Ahab <H0256> the son <H1121> of Omri <H6018> did <H6213> evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD <H3068> above all that [were] before <H6440> him.
31: And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing <H7043> for him to walk <H3212> in the sins <H2403> of Jeroboam <H3379> the son <H1121> of Nebat, <H5028> that he took <H3947> to wife <H0802> Jezebel <H0348> the daughter <H1323> of Ethbaal <H0856> king <H4428> of the Zidonians, <H6722> and went <H3212> and served <H5647> Baal, <H1168> and worshipped <H7812> him.
32: And he reared up <H6965> an altar <H4196> for Baal <H1168> in the house <H1004> of Baal, <H1168> which he had built <H1129> in Samaria. <H8111>
33: And Ahab <H0256> made <H6213> a grove; <H0842> and Ahab <H0256> did <H6213> more <H3254> to provoke the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> to anger <H3707> than all the kings <H4428> of Israel <H3478> that were before <H6440> him.
34: In his days <H3117> did Hiel <H2419> the Bethelite <H1017> build <H1129> Jericho: <H3405> he laid the foundation <H3245> thereof in Abiram <H0048> his firstborn, <H1060> and set up <H5324> the gates <H1817> thereof in his youngest <H6810> [son] Segub, <H7687> according to the word <H1697> of the LORD, <H3068> which he spake <H1696> by <H3027> Joshua <H3091> the son <H1121> of Nun. <H5126>
