I - Chapter 16

1The word of Hashem came to Yehu son of Chanani against Basha:

vai-YA-hee d'-var a-do-NAI el y'-HU-a ben kha-NA-nee al ba-a-SHA lay-MOR

2“Because I lifted you up from the dust and made you a ruler over My people Yisrael, but you followed the way of Yerovam and caused My people Yisrael to sin, vexing Me with their sins

3I am going to sweep away Basha and his house. I will make your house like the House of Yerovam son of Nebat.

4Anyone belonging to Basha who dies in the town shall be devoured by dogs, and anyone belonging to him who dies in the open country shall be devoured by the birds of the sky.”

5The other events of Basha's reign and his actions and his exploits are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Yisrael.

6Basha slept with his fathers and was buried in Tirtza. His son Eila succeeded him as king.

7But the word of Hashem had come through the Navi Yehu son of Chanani against Basha and against his house, that it would fare like the House of Yerovam, which he himself had struck down, because of all the evil he did which was displeasing to Hashem, vexing him with his deeds.

8In the twenty-sixth year of King Asa of Yehuda, Eila son of Basha became king over Yisrael, at Tirtza—for two years.

bi-SH'-nat e-SH'-rim va-SHE-sha sha-NAH l'-a-SA me-LEKH y'-hu-DAH, ma-LAKH e-LAH ben-ba-a-SHA al yis-ra-AYL b'-tir-TZAH sh'-na-TA-yim.

9His officer Zimri, commander of half the chariotry, committed treason against him while he was at Tirtza drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was in charge of the palace at Tirtza.

10Zimri entered, struck him down, and killed him; he succeeded him as king in the twenty-seventh year of King Asa of Yehuda.

11No sooner had he become king and ascended the throne than he struck down all the House of Basha; he did not leave a single male of his, nor any kinsman or friend.

12Thus Zimri destroyed all the House of Basha, in accordance with the word that Hashem had spoken through the Navi Yehu

13because of the sinful acts which Basha and his son Eila committed, and which they caused Yisrael to commit, vexing Hashem, the God of Yisrael, with their false gods.

14The other events of Eila's reign and all his actions are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Yisrael.

15During the twenty-seventh year of King Asa of Yehuda, Zimri reigned in Tirtza for seven days. At the time, the troops were encamped at Gibbethon of the Philistines.

16When the troops who were encamped there learned that Zimri had committed treason and had struck down the king, that very day, in the camp, all Yisrael acclaimed the army commander Omri king over Yisrael.

17Omri and all Yisrael then withdrew from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirtza.

18When Zimri saw that the town was taken, he went into the citadel of the royal palace and burned down the royal palace over himself. And so he died

19because of the sins which he committed and caused Yisrael to commit, doing what was displeasing to Hashem and following the ways of Yerovam.

20The other events of Zimri's reign, and the treason which he committed, are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Yisrael.

21Then the people of Yisrael split into two factions: a part of the people followed Tibni son of Ginath to make him king, and the other part followed Omri.

22Those who followed Omri proved stronger than those who followed Tibni son of Ginath; Tibni died and Omri became king.

23In the thirty-first year of King Asa of Yehuda, Omri became king over Yisrael—for twelve years. He reigned in Tirtza six years.

24Then he bought the hill of Shomron from Shemer for two kikarim of silver; he built [a town] on the hill and named the town which he built Shomron, after Shemer, the owner of the hill.

26He followed all the ways of Yerovam son of Nebat and the sins which he committed and caused Yisrael to commit, vexing Hashem, the God of Yisrael, with their futilities.

29Achav son of Omri became king over Yisrael in the thirty-eighth year of King Asa of Yehuda, and Achav son of Omri reigned over Yisrael in Shomron for twenty-two years.

31Not content to follow the sins of Yerovam son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel daughter of King Ethbaal of the Phoenicians, and he went and served Baal and worshiped him.

34During his reign, Hiel the Beit Elite fortified Yericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of Aviram his first-born, and set its gates in place at the cost of Segub his youngest, in accordance with the words that Hashem had spoken through Yehoshua son of Nun.
