WEB·1 Kings 16

¹Yahweh’s word came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

KJVThen the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to Jehu^H3058 the son^H1121 of Hanani^H2607 against Baasha^H1201, saying^H559^(H8800),

² “Because I exalted you out of the dust and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins,

KJVForasmuch as I exalted^H7311^(H8689) thee out of the dust^H6083, and made^H5414^(H8799) thee prince^H5057 over my people^H5971 Israel^H3478; and thou hast walked^H3212^(H8799) in the way^H1870 of Jeroboam^H3379, and hast made my people^H5971 Israel^H3478 to sin^H2398^(H8686), to provoke me to anger^H3707^(H8687) with their sins^H2403;

³ behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

KJVBehold, I will take away^H1197^(H8686) the posterity^H310 of Baasha^H1201, and the posterity^H310 of his house^H1004; and will make^H5414^(H8804) thy house^H1004 like the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028.

⁴ The dogs will eat Baasha’s descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field, the birds of the sky will eat.”

KJVHim that dieth^H4191^(H8801) of Baasha^H1201 in the city^H5892 shall the dogs^H3611 eat^H398^(H8799); and him that dieth^H4191^(H8801) of his in the fields^H7704 shall the fowls^H5775 of the air^H8064 eat^H398^(H8799).

⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

KJVNow the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Baasha^H1201, and what he did^H6213^(H8804), and his might^H1369, are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?

⁶ Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.

KJVSo Baasha^H1201 slept^H7901^(H8799) with his fathers^H1, and was buried^H6912^(H8735) in Tirzah^H8656: and Elah^H425 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427^(H8799) in his stead.

⁷ Moreover Yahweh’s word came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.

KJVAnd also by the hand^H3027 of the prophet^H5030 Jehu^H3058 the son^H1121 of Hanani^H2607 came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 against Baasha^H1201, and against his house^H1004, even for all the evil^H7451 that he did^H6213^(H8804) in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, in provoking him to anger^H3707^(H8687) with the work^H4639 of his hands^H3027, in being like the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379; and because he killed^H5221^(H8689) him.

⁸ In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.

KJVIn the twenty^H6242^H8141 and sixth^H8337 year^H8141 of Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 began Elah^H425 the son^H1121 of Baasha^H1201 to reign^H4427^(H8804) over Israel^H3478 in Tirzah^H8656, two years^H8141.

⁹ His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah;

KJVAnd his servant^H5650 Zimri^H2174, captain^H8269 of half^H4276 his chariots^H7393, conspired^H7194^(H8799) against him, as he was in Tirzah^H8656, drinking^H8354^(H8802) himself drunk^H7910 in the house^H1004 of Arza^H777 steward of his house^H1004 in Tirzah^H8656.

¹⁰ and Zimri went in and struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

KJVAnd Zimri^H2174 went in^H935^(H8799) and smote^H5221^(H8686) him, and killed^H4191^(H8686) him, in the twenty^H6242 and seventh^H7651 year^H8141 of Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and reigned^H4427^(H8799) in his stead.

¹¹ When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He didn’t leave him a single one who urinates on a wall among his relatives or his friends.

KJVAnd it came to pass, when he began to reign^H4427^(H8800), as soon as he sat^H3427^(H8800) on his throne^H3678, that he slew^H5221^(H8689) all the house^H1004 of Baasha^H1201: he left^H7604^(H8689) him not one that pisseth^H8366^(H8688) against a wall^H7023, neither of his kinsfolks^H1350^(H8802), nor of his friends^H7453.

¹² Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

KJVThus did Zimri^H2174 destroy^H8045^(H8686) all the house^H1004 of Baasha^H1201, according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he spake^H1696^(H8765) against Baasha^H1201 by^H3027 Jehu^H3058 the prophet^H5030,

¹³ for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

KJVFor all the sins^H2403 of Baasha^H1201, and the sins^H2403 of Elah^H425 his son^H1121, by which they sinned^H2398^(H8804), and by which they made Israel^H3478 to sin^H2398^(H8689), in provoking the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 to anger^H3707^(H8687) with their vanities^H1892.

¹⁴ Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

KJVNow the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Elah^H425, and all that he did^H6213^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?

¹⁵ In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

KJVIn the twenty^H6242^H8141 and seventh^H7651 year^H8141 of Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 did Zimri^H2174 reign^H4427^(H8804) seven^H7651 days^H3117 in Tirzah^H8656. And the people^H5971 were encamped^H2583^(H8802) against Gibbethon^H1405, which belonged to the Philistines^H6430.

¹⁶ The people who were encamped heard that Zimri had conspired, and had also killed the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

KJVAnd the people^H5971 that were encamped^H2583^(H8802) heard^H8085^(H8799) say^H559^(H8800), Zimri^H2174 hath conspired^H7194^(H8804), and hath also slain^H5221^(H8689) the king^H4428: wherefore all Israel^H3478 made Omri^H6018, the captain^H8269 of the host^H6635, king^H4427^(H8686) over Israel^H3478 that day^H3117 in the camp^H4264.

¹⁷ Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

KJVAnd Omri^H6018 went up^H5927^(H8799) from Gibbethon^H1405, and all Israel^H3478 with him, and they besieged^H6696^(H8799) Tirzah^H8656.

¹⁸ When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the fortified part of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire, and died,

KJVAnd it came to pass, when Zimri^H2174 saw^H7200^(H8800) that the city^H5892 was taken^H3920^(H8738), that he went^H935^(H8799) into the palace^H759 of the king's^H4428 house^H1004, and burnt^H8313^(H8799) the king's^H4428 house^H1004 over him with fire^H784, and died^H4191^(H8799),

¹⁹ for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did to make Israel to sin.

KJVFor his sins^H2403 which he sinned^H2398^(H8804) in doing^H6213^(H8800) evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, in walking^H3212^(H8800) in the way^H1870 of Jeroboam^H3379, and in his sin^H2403 which he did^H6213^(H8804), to make Israel^H3478 to sin^H2398^(H8687).

²⁰ Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

KJVNow the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Zimri^H2174, and his treason^H7195 that he wrought^H7194^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?

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.

KJVThen were the people^H5971 of Israel^H3478 divided^H2505^(H8735) into two parts^H2677: half^H2677 of the people^H5971 followed^H1961^(H8804)^H310 Tibni^H8402 the son^H1121 of Ginath^H1527, to make him king^H4427^(H8687); and half^H2677 followed^H310 Omri^H6018.

²² But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

KJVBut the people^H5971 that followed^H310 Omri^H6018 prevailed^H2388^(H8799) against^H854 the people^H5971 that followed^H310 Tibni^H8402 the son^H1121 of Ginath^H1527: so Tibni^H8402 died^H4191^(H8799), and Omri^H6018 reigned^H4427^(H8799).

²³ In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.

KJVIn the thirty^H7970^H8141 and first^H259 year^H8141 of Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 began Omri^H6018 to reign^H4427^(H8804) over Israel^H3478, twelve^H8147^H6240 years^H8141: six^H8337 years^H8141 reigned^H4427^(H8804) he in Tirzah^H8656.

²⁴ He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.

KJVAnd he bought^H7069^(H8799) the hill^H2022 Samaria^H8111 of Shemer^H8106 for two talents^H3603 of silver^H3701, and built^H1129^(H8799) on the hill^H2022, and called^H7121^(H8799) the name^H8034 of the city^H5892 which he built^H1129^(H8804), after the name^H8034 of Shemer^H8106, owner^H113 of the hill^H2022, Samaria^H8111.

²⁵ Omri did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.

KJVBut Omri^H6018 wrought^H6213^(H8799) evil^H7451 in the eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, and did worse^H7489^(H8686) than all that were before^H6440 him.

²⁶ For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

KJVFor he walked^H3212^(H8799) in all the way^H1870 of Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028, and in his sin^H2403 wherewith he made Israel^H3478 to sin^H2398^(H8689), to provoke the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 to anger^H3707^(H8687) with their vanities^H1892.

²⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

KJVNow the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Omri^H6018 which he did^H6213^(H8804), and his might^H1369 that he shewed^H6213^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?

³¹ As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him.

KJVAnd it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing^H7043^(H8738) for him to walk^H3212^(H8800) in the sins^H2403 of Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028, that he took^H3947^(H8799) to wife^H802 Jezebel^H348 the daughter^H1323 of Ethbaal^H856 king^H4428 of the Zidonians^H6722, and went^H3212^(H8799) and served^H5647^(H8799) Baal^H1168, and worshipped^H7812^(H8691) him.

KJVIn his days^H3117 did Hiel^H2419 the Bethelite^H1017 build^H1129^(H8804) Jericho^H3405: he laid the foundation^H3245^(H8765) thereof in Abiram^H48 his firstborn^H1060, and set up^H5324^(H8689) the gates^H1817 thereof in his youngest^H6810 son Segub^H7687, according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he spake^H1696^(H8765) by^H3027 Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126.

KJVAnd he walked^H3212^(H8799) in all the sins^H2403 of his father^H1, which he had done^H6213^(H8804) before^H6440 him: and his heart^H3824 was not perfect^H8003 with the LORD^H3068 his God^H430, as the heart^H3824 of David^H1732 his father^H1.

⁴ Nevertheless for David’s sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;

KJVNevertheless for David's^H1732 sake did the LORD^H3068 his God^H430 give^H5414^(H8804) him a lamp^H5216 in Jerusalem^H3389, to set up^H6965^(H8687) his son^H1121 after^H310 him, and to establish^H5975^(H8687) Jerusalem^H3389:

⁵ because David did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

KJVBecause David^H1732 did^H6213^(H8804) that which was right^H3477 in the eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, and turned not aside^H5493^(H8804) from any thing that he commanded^H6680^(H8765) him all the days^H3117 of his life^H2416, save only in the matter^H1697 of Uriah^H223 the Hittite^H2850.

KJVAnd there was war^H4421 between Rehoboam^H7346 and Jeroboam^H3379 all the days^H3117 of his life^H2416.

⁷ The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

KJVNow the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Abijam^H38, and all that he did^H6213^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063? And there was war^H4421 between Abijam^H38 and Jeroboam^H3379.

¹⁰ He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

KJVAnd forty^H705 and one^H259 years^H8141 reigned^H4427^(H8804) he in Jerusalem^H3389. And his mother's^H517 name^H8034 was Maachah^H4601, the daughter^H1323 of Abishalom^H53.

KJVAnd he took away^H5674^(H8686) the sodomites^H6945 out of the land^H776, and removed^H5493^(H8686) all the idols^H1544 that his fathers^H1 had made^H6213^(H8804).

KJVAnd also Maachah^H4601 his mother^H517, even her he removed^H5493^(H8686) from being queen^H1377, because she had made^H6213^(H8804) an idol^H4656 in a grove^H842; and Asa^H609 destroyed^H3772^(H8799) her idol^H4656, and burnt^H8313^(H8799) it by the brook^H5158 Kidron^H6939.

¹⁴ But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days.

KJVBut the high places^H1116 were not removed^H5493^(H8804): nevertheless Asa's^H609 heart^H3824 was perfect^H8003 with the LORD^H3068 all his days^H3117.

¹⁵ He brought into Yahweh’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.

KJVAnd he brought^H935^(H8686) in the things^H6944 which his father^H1 had dedicated^H6944, and the things which himself had dedicated^H6944, into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, silver^H3701, and gold^H2091, and vessels^H3627.

KJVAnd Baasha^H1201 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 went up^H5927^(H8799) against Judah^H3063, and built^H1129^(H8799) Ramah^H7414, that he might not suffer^H5414^(H8800) any to go out^H3318^(H8802) or come in^H935^(H8802) to Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063.

¹⁸ Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,

KJVThen Asa^H609 took^H3947^(H8799) all the silver^H3701 and the gold^H2091 that were left^H3498^(H8737) in the treasures^H214 of the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, and the treasures^H214 of the king's^H4428 house^H1004, and delivered^H5414^(H8799) them into the hand^H3027 of his servants^H5650: and king^H4428 Asa^H609 sent^H7971^(H8799) them to Benhadad^H1130, the son^H1121 of Tabrimon^H2886, the son^H1121 of Hezion^H2383, king^H4428 of Syria^H758, that dwelt^H3427^(H8802) at Damascus^H1834, saying^H559^(H8800),

¹⁹ “Let there be a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”

KJVThere is a league^H1285 between me and thee, and between my father^H1 and thy father^H1: behold, I have sent^H7971^(H8804) unto thee a present^H7810 of silver^H3701 and gold^H2091; come^H3212^(H8798) and break^H6565^(H8685) thy league^H1285 with Baasha^H1201 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, that he may depart^H5927^(H8799) from me.

²⁰ Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

KJVSo Benhadad^H1130 hearkened^H8085^(H8799) unto king^H4428 Asa^H609, and sent^H7971^(H8799) the captains^H8269 of the hosts^H2428 which he had against the cities^H5892 of Israel^H3478, and smote^H5221^(H8686) Ijon^H5859, and Dan^H1835, and Abelbethmaachah^H62, and all Cinneroth^H3672, with all the land^H776 of Naphtali^H5321.

²² Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

KJVThen king^H4428 Asa^H609 made a proclamation^H8085^(H8689) throughout all Judah^H3063; none was exempted^H5355: and they took^H5375^(H8799) away the stones^H68 of Ramah^H7414, and the timber^H6086 thereof, wherewith Baasha^H1201 had builded^H1129^(H8804); and king^H4428 Asa^H609 built^H1129^(H8799) with them Geba^H1387 of Benjamin^H1144, and Mizpah^H4709.

²³ Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

KJVThe rest^H3499 of all the acts^H1697 of Asa^H609, and all his might^H1369, and all that he did^H6213^(H8804), and the cities^H5892 which he built^H1129^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063? Nevertheless in the time^H6256 of his old age^H2209 he was diseased^H2470^(H8804) in his feet^H7272.

²⁴ Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

²⁸ Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.

²⁹ As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

KJVAnd it came to pass, when he reigned^H4427^(H8800), that he smote^H5221^(H8689) all the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379; he left^H7604^(H8689) not to Jeroboam^H3379 any that breathed^H5397, until he had destroyed^H8045^(H8689) him, according unto the saying^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he spake^H1696^(H8765) by^H3027 his servant^H5650 Ahijah^H281 the Shilonite^H7888:

³¹ Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

KJVNow the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Nadab^H5070, and all that he did^H6213^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?
