¹Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani, a word against Baasha: ²“I lifted you up from the dust and made you ruler over my people Israel. Yet you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and led my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins. ³So I am about to sweep away Baasha and his house after him, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat. ⁴Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and anyone of his who dies in the open country, the birds of the sky will eat.” ⁵The rest of the acts of Baasha, what he did and his might, are written in the Book of the History of the Kings of Israel. ⁶Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah became king in his place. ⁷The word of the LORD had also come through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha and his house. It came because of all the evil Baasha did in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger by the work of his hands, so that he became like the house of Jeroboam. It came also because he had struck that house down.

Elah and Zimri kings of Israel

⁸In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king over Israel in Tirzah, and he reigned two years. ⁹His official Zimri, commander of half the chariots, plotted against him. Elah was in Tirzah at the time, getting drunk in the house of Arza, the steward of the palace in Tirzah. ¹⁰Zimri came in and struck him down, killing him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and he became king in his place. ¹¹As soon as he became king and sat on his throne, he struck down the whole house of Baasha. He did not leave him a single male, neither his family redeemers nor his friends. ¹²So Zimri destroyed the whole house of Baasha, as the word of the LORD had said against Baasha through Jehu the prophet, ¹³because of all the sins of Baasha and the sins of his son Elah, the sins they committed and by which they led Israel to sin, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols. ¹⁴The rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are written in the Book of the History of the Kings of Israel.

¹⁵In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri became king in Tirzah, and he reigned seven days. The troops were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. ¹⁶When the troops in the camp heard it said, “Zimri has plotted, and he has even struck down the king,” all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that very day in the camp. ¹⁷Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirzah. ¹⁸When Zimri saw that the city had been taken, he went into the citadel of the royal palace and set the palace on fire over himself, and he died, ¹⁹because of the sins he had committed, doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD, walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sin he committed, by which he led Israel to sin. ²⁰The rest of the acts of Zimri, and the conspiracy he carried out, are written in the Book of the History of the Kings of Israel.

Omri king of Israel

²¹Then the people of Israel were split in two. Half the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and the other half followed Omri. ²²But the people who followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri became king.

²³In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah. ²⁴He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for about 150 pounds of silver. He built a city on the hill and named it Samaria, after Shemer, the owner of the hill. ²⁵Omri did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. He did more evil than all who were before him. ²⁶He walked in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sin, by which he led Israel to sin, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols. ²⁷The rest of the acts of Omri, what he did and the might he showed, are written in the Book of the History of the Kings of Israel. ²⁸Omri rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king in his place.

Ahab king of Israel

²⁹Ahab son of Omri became king 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. ³⁰Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him. ³¹As though walking in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat were a small thing for him, he married Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and he went and served Baal and bowed down to him. ³²He set up an altar to Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria. ³³Ahab also made the Asherah pole. He did more than all the kings of Israel before him to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger. ³⁴In Ahab’s days Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. At the price of Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the price of Segub his youngest he set its gates in place, as the word of the LORD had said through Joshua son of Nun.
