 16:1 ¶ Then the word 1697 of Yahweh 3068 came x1961 to x413 Jehu 3058 the son 1121 of Hanani 2607 against x5921 Baasha, 1201 saying, 559 z8800

 16:2 Forasmuch x3282 x834 as I exalted 7311 z8689 thee out of x4480 the dust, 6083 and made 5414 z8799 thee prince 5057 over x5921 my people 5971 Israel; 3478 and thou hast walked y3212 z8799 x1980 in the way 1870 of Jeroboam, 3379 and hast made x853 my people 5971 Israel 3478 to sin, 2398 z8686 to provoke me to anger 3707 z8687 with their sins; 2403

 16:3 Behold, x2009 I will take away 1197 z8686 the posterity 310 of Baasha, 1201 and the posterity 310 of his house; 1004 and will make 5414 z8804 x853 thy house 1004 like the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat. 5028

 16:4 Him that dieth 4191 z8801 of Baasha 1201 in the city 5892 shall the dogs 3611 eat; 398 z8799 and him that dieth 4191 z8801 of his in the fields 7704 shall the fowls 5775 of the air 8064 eat. 398 z8799

 16:5 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Baasha, 1201 and what x834 he did, 6213 z8804 and his might, 1369 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel? 3478

 16:6 So Baasha 1201 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and was buried 6912 z8735 in Tirzah: 8656 and Elah 425 his son 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 16:7 And also x1571 by the hand 3027 of the prophet 5030 Jehu 3058 the son 1121 of Hanani 2607 came x1961 the word 1697 of Yahweh 3068 against x413 Baasha, 1201 and against x413 his house, 1004 even for x5921 all x3605 the evil 7451 that x834 he did 6213 z8804 in the sight 5869 of Yahweh, 3068 in provoking him to anger 3707 z8687 with the work 4639 of his hands, 3027 in being x1961 like the house 1004 of Jeroboam; 3379 and because x5921 x834 he killed 5221 z8689 him.

 16:8 ¶ In the twenty 6242 y8141 and sixth 8337 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Elah 425 the son 1121 of Baasha 1201 to reign 4427 z8804 over x5921 Israel 3478 in Tirzah, 8656 two years. 8141

 16:9 And his servant 5650 Zimri, 2174 captain 8269 of half 4276 [his] chariots, 7393 conspired 7194 z8799 against x5921 him, as he x1931 was in Tirzah, 8656 drinking 8354 z8802 himself drunk 7910 in the house 1004 of Arza 777 steward x5921 of [his] house 1004 in Tirzah. 8656

 16:10 And Zimri 2174 went in 935 z8799 and smote 5221 z8686 him, and killed 4191 z8686 him, in the twenty 6242 and seventh 7651 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 and reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 16:11 ¶ And it came to pass, x1961 when he began to reign, 4427 z8800 as soon as he sat 3427 z8800 on x5921 his throne, 3678 [that] he slew 5221 z8689 x853 all x3605 the house 1004 of Baasha: 1201 he left 7604 z8689 him not x3808 one that pisseth 8366 z8688 against a wall, 7023 neither of his kinsfolks, 1350 z8802 nor of his friends. 7453

 16:12 Thus did Zimri 2174 destroy 8045 z8686 x853 all x3605 the house 1004 of Baasha, 1201 according to the word 1697 of Yahweh, 3068 which x834 he spake 1696 z8765 against x413 Baasha 1201 by 3027 Jehu 3058 the prophet, 5030

 16:13 For x413 all x3605 the sins 2403 of Baasha, 1201 and the sins 2403 of Elah 425 his son, 1121 by which x834 they sinned, 2398 z8804 and by which x834 they made Israel y3478 to sin, 2398 z8689 x853 x3478 in provoking x3707 x853 Yahweh 3068 Elohim 430 of Israel 3478 to anger y3707 z8687 with their vanities. 1892

 16:14 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Elah, 425 and all x3605 that x834 he did, 6213 z8804 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel? 3478

 16:15 ¶ In the twenty 6242 y8141 and seventh 7651 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 did Zimri 2174 reign 4427 z8804 seven 7651 days 3117 in Tirzah. 8656 And the people 5971 [were] encamped 2583 z8802 against x5921 Gibbethon, 1405 which x834 [belonged] to the Philistines. 6430

 16:16 And the people 5971 [that were] encamped 2583 z8802 heard 8085 z8799 say, 559 z8800 Zimri 2174 hath conspired, 7194 z8804 and hath also x1571 slain 5221 z8689 x853 the king: 4428 wherefore all x3605 Israel 3478 made x853 Omri, 6018 the captain 8269 of the host, 6635 king 4427 z8686 over x5921 Israel 3478 that x1931 day 3117 in the camp. 4264

 16:17 And Omri 6018 went up 5927 z8799 from x4480 Gibbethon, 1405 and all x3605 Israel 3478 with x5973 him, and they besieged 6696 z8799 x5921 Tirzah. 8656

 16:18 And it came to pass, x1961 when Zimri 2174 saw 7200 z8800 that x3588 the city 5892 was taken, 3920 z8738 that he went 935 z8799 into x413 the palace 759 of the king's 4428 house, 1004 and burnt 8313 z8799 x853 the king's 4428 house 1004 over x5921 him with fire, 784 and died, 4191 z8799

 16:19 For x5921 his sins 2403 which x834 he sinned 2398 z8804 in doing 6213 z8800 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of Yahweh, 3068 in walking y3212 z8800 x1980 in the way 1870 of Jeroboam, 3379 and in his sin 2403 which x834 he did, 6213 z8804 to make Israel y3478 to sin. 2398 z8687 x853 x3478

 16:20 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Zimri, 2174 and his treason 7195 that x834 he wrought, 7194 z8804 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel? 3478

 16:21 ¶ Then x227 were the people 5971 of Israel 3478 divided 2505 z8735 into two parts: 2677 half 2677 of the people 5971 followed 1961 310 z8804 Tibni 8402 the son 1121 of Ginath, 1527 to make him king; 4427 z8687 and half 2677 followed 310 Omri. 6018

 16:22 But the people 5971 that x834 followed 310 Omri 6018 prevailed y2388 z8799 against y854 x2388 x853 the people 5971 that x834 followed 310 Tibni 8402 the son 1121 of Ginath: 1527 so Tibni 8402 died, 4191 z8799 and Omri 6018 reigned. 4427 z8799

 16:23 ¶ In the thirty 7970 y8141 and first 259 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Omri 6018 to reign 4427 z8804 over x5921 Israel, 3478 twelve 8147 6240 years: 8141 six 8337 years 8141 reigned 4427 z8804 he in Tirzah. 8656

 16:24 And he bought 7069 z8799 x853 the hill 2022 Samaria 8111 of x4480 x854 Shemer 8106 for two talents 3603 of silver, 3701 and built y1129 z8799 on x1129 x853 the hill, 2022 and called 7121 z8799 x853 the name 8034 of the city 5892 which x834 he built, 1129 z8804 after x5921 the name 8034 of Shemer, 8106 adon 113 of the hill, 2022 Samaria. 8111

 16:25 ¶ But Omri 6018 wrought 6213 z8799 evil 7451 in the eyes 5869 of Yahweh, 3068 and did worse 7489 z8686 than all x4480 x3605 that x834 [were] before 6440 him.

 16:26 For he walked y3212 z8799 x1980 in all x3605 the way 1870 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat, 5028 and in his sin 2403 wherewith x834 he made Israel y3478 to sin, 2398 z8689 x853 x3478 to provoke x3707 x853 Yahweh 3068 Elohim 430 of Israel 3478 to anger y3707 z8687 with their vanities. 1892

 16:27 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Omri 6018 which x834 he did, 6213 z8804 and his might 1369 that x834 he shewed, 6213 z8804 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel? 3478

 16:28 So Omri 6018 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and was buried 6912 z8735 in Samaria: 8111 and Ahab 256 his son 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 16:29 ¶ And in the thirty 7970 y8141 and eighth 8083 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Ahab 256 the son 1121 of Omri 6018 to reign 4427 z8804 over x5921 Israel: 3478 and Ahab 256 the son 1121 of Omri 6018 reigned 4427 z8799 over x5921 Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111 twenty 6242 and two 8147 years. 8141

 16:30 And Ahab 256 the son 1121 of Omri 6018 did 6213 z8799 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of Yahweh 3068 above all x4480 x3605 that x834 [were] before 6440 him.

 16:31 And it came to pass, x1961 as if it had been a light thing 7043 z8738 for him to walk y3212 z8800 x1980 in the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat, 5028 that he took 3947 z8799 to wife 802 x853 Jezebel 348 the daughter 1323 of Ethbaal 856 king 4428 of the Zidonians, 6722 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 and served 5647 z8799 x853 Baal, 1168 and worshipped 7812 z8691 him.

 16:32 And he reared up 6965 z8686 an altar 4196 for Baal 1168 in the house 1004 of Baal, 1168 which x834 he had built 1129 z8804 in Samaria. 8111

 16:33 And Ahab 256 made 6213 z8799 x853 a grove; 842 and Ahab 256 did 6213 z8800 more 3254 z8686 to provoke x3707 x853 Yahweh 3068 Elohim 430 of Israel 3478 to anger y3707 z8687 than all x4480 x3605 the kings 4428 of Israel 3478 that x834 were x1961 before 6440 him.

 16:34 ¶ In his days 3117 did Hiel 2419 the Bethelite 1017 build 1129 z8804 x853 Jericho: 3405 he laid the foundation 3245 z8765 thereof in Abiram 48 his firstborn, 1060 and set up 5324 z8689 the gates 1817 thereof in his youngest 6810 [son] Segub, 7687 according to the word 1697 of Yahweh, 3068 which x834 he spake 1696 z8765 by 3027 Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun. 5126
