1 Kings 16:8-10

International Standard Version

Elah Reigns over Israel

⁸ During the twenty-sixth year of the reign of^[a] King Asa of Judah, Baasha’s son Elah became king over Israel and reigned at Tirzah for two years. ⁹ But his servant Zimri, who commanded half of his chariot forces, conspired against Elah while he was drinking himself drunk in the home of Arza, who managed the household at Tirzah. ¹⁰ Zimri went inside, attacked him, and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of King Asa of Judah, and then became king in Elah’s place.
