⁹ And his servant ^(A)Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now ^[a]Elah was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, ^(B)who was in charge of the household in Tirzah. ¹⁰ Then Zimri came in and struck him and put him to death in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and he became king in his place. ¹¹ And when he became king, as soon as he sat on his throne, ^(C)he ^[b]killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave ^[c]a single male alive, either of his ^[d]relatives or of his friends.

¹² So Zimri eliminated all the household of Baasha, ^(D)in accordance with the word of the Lord which He spoke against Baasha through ^(E)Jehu the prophet, ¹³ for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of his son Elah, which they ^[e]committed and into which they misled Israel, ^(F)provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their ^[f]idols. ^14 (G)Now as for 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?
