1 Mga Hari 16
Magandang Balita Biblia
16 Isinugo ni Yahweh ang propetang si Jehu na anak ni Hanani kay Baasa at ganito ang ipinasabi: 2 “Pinili kita at ginawang hari ng bayan kong Israel. Ngunit sinundan mo ang halimbawa ni Jeroboam at ibinunsod mo sa pagkakasala ang bayan ko. 3 Kaya't itatakwil din kita at ang iyong angkan, gaya nang ginawa ko kay Jeroboam. 4 Sinuman sa iyong angkan ang mamatay sa loob ng bayan ay kakainin ng mga aso; at sinumang mamatay sa bukid ay kakainin ng mga buwitre.”
5 Ang iba pang mga ginawa ni Baasa at ang kanyang kagitingan ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Israel. 6 Namatay si Baasa at inilibing sa Tirza. Ang anak niyang si Ela ang humalili sa kanya bilang hari.
7 Sinugo ni Yahweh ang propetang si Jehu upang ipahayag kay Baasa at sa kanyang pamilya ang kanyang hatol laban sa hari. Gayundin naman, dahil sa kanyang pagsunod sa mga kasalanan ni Jeroboam, nilipol din niya ang buong angkan nito.
Ang Paghahari ni Ela
8 Naging hari ng Israel si Ela na anak ni Baasa noong ika-26 na taon ng paghahari ni Asa sa Juda. Dalawang taon siyang naghari at sa Tirza nanirahan. 9 Pinagtaksilan siya ni Zimri na pinuno ng kalahati ng hukbong gumagamit ng karwahe. Samantalang lasing si Ela sa bahay ni Arsa na tagapamahala ng palasyo sa Tirza, 10 pumasok si Zimri sa palasyo at pinatay si Ela at siya ang pumalit na hari. Nangyari ito noong ika-27 taon ng paghahari ni Asa sa Juda.
11 Simula pa lamang ng paghahari ni Zimri, pinatay na niyang lahat ang buong pamilya ni Baasa. Ipinapatay niya ang lahat ng lalaking kamag-anak at mga kaibigan ni Baasa. 12 Nilipol nga niya ang buong angkan ni Baasa ayon sa sinabi ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng propetang si Jehu. 13 Nagalit si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, kina Baasa at Ela sapagkat ibinunsod nila ang Israel sa pagkakasala at pagsamba sa mga diyus-diyosan. 14 Ang iba pang ginawa ni Haring Ela ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Israel.
Ang Paghahari ni Zimri
15 Naging hari naman ng Israel si Zimri noong ika-27 taon ng paghahari ni Asa sa Juda. Naghari siya sa Tirza sa loob lamang ng pitong araw. Pinalibutan at nilusob noon ng hukbong Israel ang lunsod ng Gibeton sa Filistia at nang 16 mabalitaan nila ang pagtataksil ni Zimri at ang pagkamatay ng hari, pinagkaisahan nilang gawing hari si Omri, ang pinuno ng hukbo. 17 Iniwan nga nila ang Gibeton, at kinubkob ang Tirza. 18 Nang makita ni Zimri na mahuhulog na ang bayan sa kamay ng kalaban, nagkulong siya sa kastilyo ng palasyo at sinindihan iyon. Kaya't kasama siyang nasunog doon. 19 Nangyari ito sapagkat hindi rin kinalugdan ni Yahweh ang mga ginawa ni Zimri. Ibinunsod niya ang Israel sa pagkakasala tulad ng ginawa ni Jeroboam.
20 Ang iba pang ginawa ni Zimri, pati ang kanyang pakikipagsabwatan upang agawin ang trono, ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Israel.
Ang Paghahari ni Omri
21 Pagkamatay ni Zimri, nahati ang Israel sa dalawang pangkat. Pumanig ang isa kay Omri, ngunit si Tibni na anak ni Ginat ang pinili ng ikalawa. 22 Ngunit nagtagumpay din ang pangkat ni Omri. Napatay si Tibni, at si Omri ang naging hari.
23 Si Omri ay naging hari ng Israel noong ika-31 taon ng paghahari ni Asa sa Juda at labindalawang taon siyang naghari. Tumira siya sa Tirza sa loob ng anim na taon. 24 Pagkatapos, binili niya kay Semer ang isang bundok sa halagang pitumpung kilong pilak. Nagtayo siya roon ng isang lunsod na tinawag niyang Samaria, hango sa salitang Semer, pangalan ng binilhan niya ng bundok.
25 Ginawa rin ni Omri ang mga bagay na hindi kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh. Naging masahol pa nga siya sa mga nauna sa kanya. 26 Tumulad siya kay Jeroboam na anak ni Nebat. Ibinunsod din niya ang mga Israelita sa pagsamba sa mga diyus-diyosan, kaya't nagalit sa kanila si Yahweh.
27 Ang iba pang ginawa ni Omri at ang kanyang katapangan ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Israel. 28 Namatay si Omri at inilibing sa Samaria. Humalili sa kanya bilang hari ang anak niyang si Ahab.
Si Haring Ahab ng Israel
29 Nagsimulang maghari sa Israel si Ahab na anak ni Omri noong ika-38 taon ng paghahari ni Asa sa Juda. Sa Samaria siya nanirahan, at naghari sa loob ng dalawampu't dalawang taon. 30 Higit sa lahat ng nauna sa kanya ang kasamaang ginawa niya sa paningin ni Yahweh. 31 Hindi pa siya nasiyahang ipagpatuloy ang ginawa ni Jeroboam. Pinakasalan din niya si Jezebel na anak ni Et-baal, hari ng Sidon. At mula noon, naglingkod siya at sumamba kay Baal. 32 Nagpatayo siya ng templo para kay Baal sa Samaria. Nagpagawa siya ng altar at ipinasok doon 33 ang ginawa niyang rebulto ni Ashera. Ang mga pagkakasalang ginawa niya'y higit na masama sa ginawa ng mga haring nauna sa kanya. 34 Sa(A) panahon niya, muling itinayo ni Hiel na taga-Bethel ang lunsod ng Jerico. Ngunit nang ilagay ang pundasyon nito, buhay ng panganay niyang si Abiram ang kanyang ibinuwis. At nang itayo ang pintuan, buhay naman ng kanyang bunsong si Segub ang naging kabayaran. Sa ganon, natupad ang sinabi ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ni Josue na anak ni Nun.
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
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)
