1 Kings 16:23-25
English Standard Version
23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and he reigned for twelve years; six years he reigned in Tirzah. 24 He bought the hill of (A)Samaria from Shemer for two talents[a] of silver, and he fortified the hill and called the name of the city that he built (B)Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.
25 (C)Omri did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did more evil (D)than all who were before him.
