Omri Reigns in Israel
21 Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri. 22 But the people who followed Omri prevailed over the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri reigned. 23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and reigned twelve years. Six years he reigned in (A)Tirzah. 24 And he bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver; then he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, (B)Samaria,[a] after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill. 25 (C)Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all who were before him. 26 For he (D)walked in all the ways of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin, provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their (E)idols.[b]
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28 So Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. Then Ahab his son reigned in his place.
Ahab Reigns in Israel
29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 30 Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all who were before him. 31 And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (F)that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the (G)Sidonians; (H)and he went and served Baal and worshiped him. 32 Then he set up an altar for Baal in (I)the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 33 (J)And Ahab made a [c]wooden image. Ahab (K)did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him. 34 In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation [d]with Abiram his firstborn, and with his youngest son Segub he set up its gates, (L)according to the word of the Lord, which He had spoken through Joshua the son of Nun.

列 王 紀 上 16:21-34
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
21 那 時 ， 以 色 列 民 分 為 兩 半 ： 一 半 隨 從 基 納 的 兒 子 提 比 尼 ， 要 立 他 作 王 ； 一 半 隨 從 暗 利 。
22 但 隨 從 暗 利 的 民 勝 過 隨 從 基 納 的 兒 子 提 比 尼 的 民 。 提 比 尼 死 了 ， 暗 利 就 作 了 王 。
23 猶 大 王 亞 撒 三 十 一 年 ， 暗 利 登 基 作 以 色 列 王 共 十 二 年 ； 在 得 撒 作 王 六 年 。
24 暗 利 用 二 他 連 得 銀 子 向 撒 瑪 買 了 撒 瑪 利 亞 山 ， 在 山 上 造 城 ， 就 按 著 山 的 原 主 撒 瑪 的 名 ， 給 所 造 的 城 起 名 叫 撒 瑪 利 亞 。
25 暗 利 行 耶 和 華 眼 中 看 為 惡 的 事 ， 比 他 以 前 的 列 王 作 惡 更 甚 。
26 因 他 行 了 尼 八 的 兒 子 耶 羅 波 安 所 行 的 ， 犯 他 使 以 色 列 人 陷 在 罪 裡 的 那 罪 ， 以 虛 無 的 神 惹 耶 和 華 ─ 以 色 列 神 的 怒 氣 。
27 暗 利 其 餘 的 事 和 他 所 顯 出 的 勇 力 都 寫 在 以 色 列 諸 王 記 上 。
28 暗 利 與 他 列 祖 同 睡 ， 葬 在 撒 瑪 利 亞 。 他 兒 子 亞 哈 接 續 他 作 王 。
29 猶 大 王 亞 撒 三 十 八 年 ， 暗 利 的 兒 子 亞 哈 登 基 作 了 以 色 列 王 。 暗 利 的 兒 子 亞 哈 在 撒 瑪 利 亞 作 以 色 列 王 二 十 二 年 。
30 暗 利 的 兒 子 亞 哈 行 耶 和 華 眼 中 看 為 惡 的 事 ， 比 他 以 前 的 列 王 更 甚 ，
31 犯 了 尼 八 的 兒 子 耶 羅 波 安 所 犯 的 罪 ； 他 還 以 為 輕 ， 又 娶 了 西 頓 王 謁 巴 力 的 女 兒 耶 洗 別 為 妻 ， 去 事 奉 敬 拜 巴 力 ，
32 在 撒 瑪 利 亞 建 造 巴 力 的 廟 ， 在 廟 裡 為 巴 力 築 壇 。
33 亞 哈 又 做 亞 舍 拉 ， 他 所 行 的 惹 耶 和 華 ─ 以 色 列 神 的 怒 氣 ， 比 他 以 前 的 以 色 列 諸 王 更 甚 。
34 亞 哈 在 位 的 時 候 ， 有 伯 特 利 人 希 伊 勒 重 修 耶 利 哥 城 ； 立 根 基 的 時 候 ， 喪 了 長 子 亞 比 蘭 ； 安 門 的 時 候 ， 喪 了 幼 子 西 割 ， 正 如 耶 和 華 藉 嫩 的 兒 子 約 書 亞 所 說 的 話 。

Omri King of Israel
21 Then the people of Israel were split into two factions; half supported Tibni son of Ginath for king, and the other half supported Omri. 22 But Omri’s followers proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.
23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.(A) 24 He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents[a] of silver and built a city on the hill, calling it Samaria,(B) after Shemer, the name of the former owner of the hill.
25 But Omri did evil(C) in the eyes of the Lord and sinned more than all those before him. 26 He followed completely the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused(D) Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.(E)
27 As for the other events of Omri’s reign, what he did and the things he achieved, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 28 Omri rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria.(F) And Ahab his son succeeded him as king.
Ahab Becomes King of Israel
29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. 30 Ahab son of Omri did more(G) evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him. 31 He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married(H) Jezebel daughter(I) of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal(J) and worship him. 32 He set up an altar(K) for Baal in the temple(L) of Baal that he built in Samaria. 33 Ahab also made an Asherah pole(M) and did more(N) to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.
34 In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken by Joshua son of Nun.(O)
