1 Reyes 16
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
16 En aquel tiempo, la palabra del Señor vino a Jehú hijo de Jananí y le dio este mensaje contra Basá: 2 «Yo te levanté del polvo y te hice gobernante de mi pueblo Israel, pero tú seguiste el mal ejemplo de Jeroboán e hiciste que mi pueblo Israel pecara y provocara así mi enojo. 3 Por eso estoy a punto de aniquilarte y de hacer con tu familia lo mismo que hice con la de Jeroboán hijo de Nabat. 4 A los que mueran en la ciudad se los comerán los perros, y a los que mueran en el campo se los comerán las aves del cielo».
5 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Basá, y lo que hizo y atañe a sus obras, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel. 6 Basá murió y fue sepultado en Tirsá. Y su hijo Elá le sucedió en el trono.
7 Además, por medio del profeta Jehú hijo de Jananí, la palabra del Señor vino contra Basá y su familia, debido a todas las ofensas que este había cometido contra el Señor, provocando así su ira. Y, aunque destruyó a la familia de Jeroboán, llegó a ser semejante a esta por las obras que hizo.
Elá, rey de Israel
8 En el año veintiséis de Asá, rey de Judá, Elá hijo de Basá ascendió al trono de Israel, y reinó dos años en Tirsá. 9 Pero conspiró contra él Zimri, uno de sus funcionarios, que tenía el mando de la mitad de sus carros de combate. Estaba Elá en Tirsá, emborrachándose en la casa de Arsá, administrador de su palacio. 10 En ese momento irrumpió Zimri y lo hirió de muerte, y le suplantó en el trono. Era el año veintisiete de Asá, rey de Judá.
11 Tan pronto como Zimri usurpó el trono, eliminó a toda la familia de Basá. Exterminó hasta el último varón, fuera pariente o amigo. 12 Así aniquiló a toda la familia de Basá, conforme a la palabra que el Señor había anunciado contra Basá por medio del profeta Jehú. 13 Esto sucedió a raíz de todos los pecados que Basá y su hijo Elá cometieron e hicieron cometer a los israelitas, provocando con sus ídolos inútiles la ira del Señor, Dios de Israel.
14 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Elá, y todo lo que hizo, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
Zimri, rey de Israel
15 En el año veintisiete de Asá, rey de Judá, mientras el ejército estaba acampado contra la ciudad filistea de Guibetón, Zimri reinó en Tirsá siete días. 16 El mismo día en que las tropas oyeron decir que Zimri había conspirado contra el rey y lo había asesinado, allí mismo en el campamento todo Israel proclamó como rey de Israel a Omrí, el jefe del ejército. 17 Entonces Omrí y todos los israelitas que estaban con él se retiraron de Guibetón y sitiaron Tirsá. 18 Cuando Zimri vio que la ciudad estaba a punto de caer, se metió en la torre del palacio real y le prendió fuego. Así murió 19 por los pecados que había cometido, pues hizo lo que ofende al Señor, siguiendo el mal ejemplo de Jeroboán y persistiendo en el mismo pecado con que este hizo pecar a Israel.
20 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Zimri, incluso lo que atañe a su rebelión, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
Omrí, rey de Israel
21 Entonces el pueblo de Israel se dividió en dos facciones: la mitad respaldaba como rey a Tibni hijo de Guinat, y la otra, a Omrí. 22 Pero los partidarios de Omrí derrotaron a los de Tibni, el cual murió en la contienda. Así fue como Omrí ascendió al trono.
23 En el año treinta y uno de Asá, rey de Judá, Omrí ascendió al trono de Israel, y reinó doce años, seis de ellos en Tirsá. 24 A un cierto Sémer le compró el cerro de Samaria por sesenta y seis kilos[a] de plata, y allí construyó una ciudad. En honor a Sémer, nombre del anterior propietario del cerro, la llamó Samaria.
25 Pero Omrí hizo lo que ofende al Señor y pecó más que todos los reyes que le precedieron. 26 Siguió el mal ejemplo de Jeroboán hijo de Nabat, persistiendo en el mismo pecado con que este hizo pecar a Israel y provocando con sus ídolos inútiles la ira del Señor, Dios de Israel.
27 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Omrí, incluso lo que atañe a las proezas que realizó, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel. 28 Omrí murió y fue sepultado en Samaria. Y su hijo Acab le sucedió en el trono.
Acab, rey de Israel
29 En el año treinta y ocho de Asá, rey de Judá, Acab hijo de Omrí ascendió al trono, y reinó sobre Israel en Samaria veintidós años. 30 Acab hijo de Omrí hizo lo que ofende al Señor, más que todos los reyes que le precedieron. 31 Como si hubiera sido poco el cometer los mismos pecados de Jeroboán hijo de Nabat, también se casó con Jezabel hija de Et Baal, rey de los sidonios, y se dedicó a servir a Baal y a adorarlo. 32 Le erigió un altar en el templo que le había construido en Samaria, 33 y también fabricó una imagen de la diosa Aserá. En fin, hizo más para provocar la ira del Señor, Dios de Israel, que todos los reyes de Israel que le precedieron.
34 En tiempos de Acab, Jiel de Betel reconstruyó Jericó. Echó los cimientos al precio de la vida de Abirán, su hijo mayor, y puso las puertas al precio de la vida de Segub, su hijo menor, según la palabra que el Señor había dado a conocer por medio de Josué hijo de 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
English Standard Version
16 And the word of the Lord came to (A)Jehu the son of (B)Hanani against Baasha, saying, 2 “Since I (C)exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, and (D)you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins, 3 behold, I will utterly (E)sweep away (F)Baasha and his house, and I will make your house (G)like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 4 (H)Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone of his who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall 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 And Baasha slept with his fathers and was buried at (I)Tirzah, and Elah his son reigned in his place. 7 Moreover, the word of the Lord came by the prophet (J)Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and also because (K)he destroyed it.
Elah Reigns in Israel
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and he reigned two years. 9 But his servant (L)Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. When he was at Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, (M)who was over the household in Tirzah, 10 Zimri came in and struck him down and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
11 When he began to reign, as soon as he had seated himself on his throne, he struck down (N)all the house of Baasha. He (O)did not leave him a single male of his relatives or his friends. 12 Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, (P)according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke against Baasha by (Q)Jehu the prophet, 13 for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and which they made Israel to sin, (R)provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their idols. 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?
Zimri Reigns in Israel
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the troops were encamped against (S)Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, 16 and the troops who were encamped heard it said, “Zimri has conspired, and he has killed the king.” Therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp. 17 So Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 18 And when Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the king's house and burned the king's house over him with fire and died, 19 because of his sins that he committed, doing evil in the sight of the Lord, (T)walking in the way of Jeroboam, and for his sin which he committed, making Israel to sin. 20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the conspiracy that he made, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
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 overcame the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri became king. 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 (U)Samaria from Shemer for two talents[a] of silver, and he fortified the hill and called the name of the city that he built (V)Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.
25 (W)Omri did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did more evil (X)than all who were before him. 26 For (Y)he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in the sins that he made Israel to sin, (Z)provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols. 27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri that he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 28 And Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and 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 began to reign over Israel, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, (AA)more than all who were before him. 31 And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (AB)he took for his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the (AC)Sidonians, (AD)and went and served Baal and worshiped him. 32 He erected an altar for Baal in (AE)the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria. 33 And Ahab made an (AF)Asherah. Ahab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger (AG)than all the kings of Israel who were before him. 34 (AH)In his days Hiel of Bethel built (AI)Jericho. He laid its foundation at the cost of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
