⁸ In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel at Tirzah, and reigned for two years. 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.
