1 Kings 16 - Versions
1 Kings 16 Text (WEB)
  1. The word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
  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;
  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.
  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."
  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?
  6. Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.
  7. Moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of Yahweh against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.
  8. In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] two years.
  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:
  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.
  11. It happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck all the house of Baasha: he didn't leave him a single one who urinates on a wall, neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.
  12. Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
  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.
  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?
  15. In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
  16. The people who were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king: therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
  17. Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
  18. It happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle 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 that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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 did, aren't they 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 who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
  23. In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, [and reigned] twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
  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, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.
  25. Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and dealt wickedly above all who were before 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.
  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?
  28. So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.
  29. In the thirty-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-two years.
  30. Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh above all that were before him.
  31. It happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.
  32. He reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
  33. Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
  34. In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.

  26. וילך בכל־דרך ירבעם בן־נבט אשר החטיא את־ישראל להכעיס את־יהוה אלהי ישראל בהבליהם׃
  27. ויתר דברי עמרי אשר עשה וגבורתו אשר עשה הלא־הם כתובים על־ספר דברי הימים למלכי ישראל׃
  28. וישכב עמרי עם־אבתיו ויקבר בשמרון וימלך אחאב בנו תחתיו׃ ף
  29. ואחאב בן־עמרי מלך על־ישראל בשנת שלשים ושמנה שנה לאסא מלך יהודה וימלך אחאב בן־עמרי על־ישראל בשמרון עשרים ושתים שנה׃

1 Kings 16 Text (Latin)
  1. Factus est autem sermo Domini ad Jehu filium Hanani contra Baasa, dicens :
  2. Pro eo quod exaltavi te de pulvere, et posui te ducem super populum meum Israël, tu autem ambulasti in via Jeroboam, et peccare fecisti populum meum Israël, ut me irritares in peccatis eorum :
  3. ecce ego demetam posteriora Baasa, et posteriora domus ejus : et faciam domum tuam sicut domum Jeroboam filii Nabat.
  4. Qui mortuus fuerat de Baasa in civitate, comedent eum canes : et qui mortuus fuerit ex eo in regione, comedent eum volucres cæli.
  5. Reliqua autem sermonum Baasa, et quæcumque fecit, et prælia ejus, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël ?
  6. Dormivit ergo Baasa cum patribus suis, sepultusque est in Thersa : et regnavit Ela filius ejus pro eo.
  7. Cum autem in manu Jehu filii Hanani prophetæ verbum Domini factum esset contra Baasa, et contra domum ejus, et contra omne malum quod fecerat coram Domino, ad irritandum eum in operibus manuum suarum, ut fieret sicut domus Jeroboam : ob hanc causam occidit eum, hoc est, Jehu filium Hanani, prophetam.
  8. Anno vigesimo sexto Asa regis Juda, regnavit Ela filius Baasa super Israël in Thersa duobus annis.
  9. Et rebellavit contra eum servus suus Zambri, dux mediæ partis equitum : erat autem Ela in Thersa bibens, et temulentus in domo Arsa præfecti Thersa.
  10. Irruens ergo Zambri, percussit, et occidit eum, anno vigesimo septimo Asa regis Juda, et regnavit pro eo.
  11. Cumque regnasset, et sedisset super solium ejus, percussit omnem domum Baasa, et non dereliquit ex ea mingentem ad parietem, et propinquos et amicos ejus.
  12. Delevitque Zambri omnem domum Baasa, juxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat ad Baasa in manu Jehu prophetæ,
  13. propter universa peccata Baasa, et peccata Ela filii ejus, qui peccaverunt, et peccare fecerunt Israël, provocantes Dominum Deum Israël in vanitatibus suis.
  14. Reliqua autem sermonum Ela, et omnia quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël ?
  15. Anno vigesimo septimo Asa regis Juda, regnavit Zambri septem diebus in Thersa : porro exercitus obsidebat Gebbethon urbem Philisthinorum.
  16. Cumque audisset rebellasse Zambri, et occidisse regem, fecit sibi regem omnis Israël Amri, qui erat princeps militiæ super Israël in die illa in castris.
  17. Ascendit ergo Amri, et omnis Israël cum eo, de Gebbethon, et obsidebant Thersa.
  18. Videns autem Zambri quod expugnanda esset civitas, ingressus est palatium, et succendit se cum domo regia : et mortuus est
  19. in peccatis suis, quæ peccaverat faciens malum coram Domino, et ambulans in via Jeroboam, et in peccato ejus, quo fecit peccare Israël.
  20. Reliqua autem sermonum Zambri, et insidiarum ejus, et tyrannidis, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël ?
  21. Tunc divisus est populus Israël in duas partes : media pars populi sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth, ut constitueret eum regem : et media pars Amri.
  22. Prævaluit autem populus qui erat cum Amri, populo qui sequebatur Thebni filium Gineth : mortuusque est Thebni, et regnavit Amri.
  23. Anno trigesimo primo Asa regis Juda, regnavit Amri super Israël, duodecim annis : in Thersa regnavit sex annis.
  24. Emitque montem Samariæ a Somer duobus talentis argenti : et ædificavit eum, et vocavit nomen civitatis, quam exstruxerat, nomine Semer domini montis, Samariam.
  25. Fecit autem Amri malum in conspectu Domini, et operatus est nequiter, super omnes qui fuerunt ante eum.
  26. Ambulavitque in omni via Jeroboam filii Nabat, et in peccatis ejus quibus peccare fecerat Israël : ut irritaret Dominum Deum Israël in vanitatibus suis.
  27. Reliqua autem sermonum Amri, et prælia ejus, quæ gessit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël ?
  28. Dormivitque Amri cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in Samaria : regnavitque Achab filius ejus pro eo.
  29. Achab vero filius Amri regnavit super Israël anno trigesimo octavo Asa regis Juda. Et regnavit Achab filius Amri super Israël in Samaria viginti et duobus annis.
  30. Et fecit Achab filius Amri malum in conspectu Domini super omnes qui fuerunt ante eum.
  31. Nec suffecit ei ut ambularet in peccatis Jeroboam filii Nabat : insuper duxit uxorem Jezabel filiam Ethbaal regis Sidoniorum. Et abiit, et servivit Baal, et adoravit eum.
  32. Et posuit aram Baal in templo Baal, quod ædificaverat in Samaria,
  33. et plantavit lucum : et addidit Achab in opere suo, irritans Dominum Deum Israël super omnes reges Israël qui fuerunt ante eum.
  34. In diebus ejus ædificavit Hiel de Bethel Jericho : in Abiram primitivo suo fundavit eam, et in Segub novissimo suo posuit portas ejus : juxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat in manu Josue filii Nun.
1 Kings 16 Text (KJV)
  1. 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.
