16 Herrens ord kom till Jehu, Hananis son, mot Basha. Han sade: 2 "Eftersom jag har lyft dig upp ur stoftet och satt dig till furste över mitt folk Israel, men du har gått på Jerobeams väg och kommit mitt folk att synda, så att de har väckt min vrede genom sina synder, 3 därför skall jag sopa bort Basha och hans hus. Ja, jag skall göra med ditt hus som jag gjorde med Jerobeams, Nebats sons, hus. 4 Den av Bashas hus som dör i staden skall hundarna äta upp, och den av hans hus som dör ute på marken skall himlens fåglar äta upp."
5 Vad som mer finns att säga om Basha, om vad han gjorde och om hans mäktiga gärningar, det är skrivet i Israels kungars krönika. 6 Basha gick till vila hos sina fäder och blev begravd i Tirsa. Hans son Ela blev kung efter honom.
7 Men genom profeten Jehu, Hananis son, hade Herrens ord kommit till Basha och hans hus, inte endast för allt det onda som han hade gjort i Herrens ögon, då han väckte hans vrede genom sina händers verk, och det därför måste gå honom som det gick Jerobeams hus, utan också därför att han hade förgjort detta.
Ela kung i Israel
8 I Asas, Juda kungs, tjugosjätte regeringsår, blev Ela, Bashas son, kung över Israel i Tirsa och regerade i två år.[a] 9 Men hans tjänare Simri, som var befälhavare för den ena hälften av vagnarna, anstiftade en sammansvärjning mot honom. En gång då Ela i Tirsa hade druckit sig berusad hemma hos Arsa, överhovmästaren i Tirsa, 10 kom Simri dit och slog honom till döds i Asas, Juda kungs, tjugosjunde regeringsår. Sedan blev han själv kung efter Ela.
11 När han hade blivit kung och satt på sin tron, dödade han hela Bashas hus utan att låta någon av mankön bli kvar, varken släkting eller vän. 12 Så utrotade Simri hela Bashas hus enligt det ord som Herren hade talat mot Basha genom profeten Jehu. 13 Detta skedde på grund av alla de synder som Basha och hans son Ela hade begått och genom vilka de hade kommit Israel att synda, så att de väckte Herrens, Israels Guds, vrede med sina tomma avgudar.
14 Vad som mer finns att säga om Ela och om allt vad han gjorde, det är skrivet i Israels kungars krönika.
Simri kung i Israel
15 I Asas, Juda kungs, tjugosjunde regeringsår blev Simri kung och regerade sju dagar i Tirsa. Folket höll då på att belägra Gibbeton, som tillhörde filisteerna. 16 Medan folket höll på med belägringen, fick de höra: "Simri har anstiftat en sammansvärjning. Han har också dödat kungen." Då gjorde hela Israel samma dag den israelitiske befälhavaren Omri till kung i lägret. 17 Därefter drog Omri med hela Israel upp från Gibbeton, och de angrep Tirsa. 18 När Simri såg att staden hade intagits, gick han in i kungshusets palatsbyggnad och brände upp kungshuset och sig själv i eld och omkom. 19 Detta skedde på grund av de synder som han hade begått, när han gjorde det som var ont inför Herren och vandrade på Jerobeams väg och i den synd som denne hade gjort och genom vilken han hade kommit Israel att synda.
20 Vad som mer finns att säga om Simri och om den sammansvärjning han anstiftade, det är skrivet i Israels kungars krönika.
Omri kung i Israel
21 Nu delade sig Israels folk i två hälfter. Den ena hälften av folket följde Tibni, Ginats son, och ville göra honom till kung, medan den andra hälften följde Omri. 22 Men den del av folket som följde Omri fick övertaget över den del som följde Tibni, Ginats son. När Tibni var död blev Omri kung. 23 I Asas, Juda kungs, trettioförsta regeringsår blev Omri kung över Israel och regerade i tolv år.[b] I Tirsa regerade han i sex år. 24 Han köpte berget Samaria av Semer för två talenter silver och bebyggde berget. Staden som han byggde där kallade han Samaria efter Semer, den man som tidigare hade ägt berget.
25 Men Omri gjorde det som var ont inför Herren. Han gjorde mer ont än någon av dem som hade varit före honom. 26 Han gick i allt på Jerobeams, Nebats sons, väg och levde i de synder genom vilka denne hade kommit Israel att synda, så att de väckte Herrens, Israels Guds, vrede med sina tomma avgudar.
27 Vad som mer finns att säga om Omri, om vad han gjorde och om hans mäktiga gärningar, det är skrivet i Israels kungars krönika. 28 Omri gick till vila hos sina fäder och blev begravd i Samaria.
Hans son Ahab blev kung efter honom.
Ahab kung i Israel
29 Ahab, Omris son, blev kung över Israel i Asas, Juda kungs, trettioåttonde regeringsår. Sedan regerade han i tjugotvå år[c] över Israel i Samaria. 30 Men Ahab, Omris son, gjorde det som var ont inför Herren, mer än någon av dem som hade varit före honom. 31 Och som om det inte var nog för honom att leva i Jerobeams, Nebats sons, synder, tog han också till hustru Isebel, som var dotter till Etbaal, sidoniernas kung, och gick bort och tjänade Baal och tillbad honom. 32 Han reste ett altare åt Baal i Baalstemplet som han hade byggt i Samaria. 33 Dessutom lät Ahab göra Aseran. Ja, han gjorde mer för att väcka Herrens, Israels Guds, vrede än någon av de israelitiska kungar som hade varit före honom.
34 Under hans tid byggde Hiel från Betel åter upp Jeriko. När han lade grunden till staden, kostade det honom hans äldste son Abiram, och när han satte upp dess portar, kostade det honom hans yngste son Segib. Detta skedde enligt det ord som Herren hade talat genom Josua, Nuns son.[d]

1 Kings 16
King James Version
1 Kings 16
King James Version
16 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
3 Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4 Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
6 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
7 And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the Lord against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
10 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet.
13 For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
16 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died.
19 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the Lord, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
21 Then were the people of Israel 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 that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him.
26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.
31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
33 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
34 In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
1 Kings 16
New International Version
1 Kings 16
New International Version
16 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu(A) son of Hanani(B) concerning Baasha: 2 “I lifted you up from the dust(C) and appointed you ruler(D) over my people Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and caused(E) my people Israel to sin and to arouse my anger by their sins. 3 So I am about to wipe out Baasha(F) and his house,(G) and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat. 4 Dogs(H) will eat those belonging to Baasha who die in the city, and birds(I) will feed on those who die in the country.”
5 As for the other events of Baasha’s reign, what he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals(J) of the kings of Israel? 6 Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah.(K) And Elah his son succeeded him as king.
7 Moreover, the word of the Lord came(L) through the prophet Jehu(M) son of Hanani to Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger by the things he did, becoming like the house of Jeroboam—and also because he destroyed it.
Elah King of Israel
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.
9 Zimri, one of his officials, who had command of half his chariots, plotted against him. Elah was in Tirzah at the time, getting drunk(N) in the home of Arza, the palace administrator(O) at Tirzah. 10 Zimri came in, struck him down and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah. Then he succeeded him as king.(P)
11 As soon as he began to reign and was seated on the throne, he killed off Baasha’s whole family.(Q) He did not spare a single male, whether relative or friend. 12 So Zimri destroyed the whole family of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu— 13 because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.(R)
14 As for the other events of Elah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
Zimri King of Israel
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah seven days. The army was encamped near Gibbethon,(S) a Philistine town. 16 When the Israelites in the camp heard that Zimri had plotted against the king and murdered him, they proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that very day there in the camp. 17 Then Omri and all the Israelites with him withdrew from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirzah. 18 When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the royal palace and set the palace on fire around him. So he died, 19 because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.
20 As for the other events of Zimri’s reign, and the rebellion he carried out, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
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.(T) 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,(U) after Shemer, the name of the former owner of the hill.
25 But Omri did evil(V) 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(W) Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.(X)
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.(Y) 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(Z) 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(AA) Jezebel daughter(AB) of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal(AC) and worship him. 32 He set up an altar(AD) for Baal in the temple(AE) of Baal that he built in Samaria. 33 Ahab also made an Asherah pole(AF) and did more(AG) 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.(AH)
