1Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 2Forasmuch 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; 3Behold, 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. 4Him 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. 5Now 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? 6So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead. 7And 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. 9And 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.16.9 steward…: Heb. which was over 10And 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.16.11 neither…: or, both his kinsmen and his friends 12Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,16.12 by: Heb. by the hand of 13For 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. 14Now 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. 16And 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. 17And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 18And 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, 19For 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. 20Now 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. 22But 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. 24And 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.16.24 Samaria: Heb. Shomeron
25¶ But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him. 26For 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. 27Now 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? 28So 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. 30And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him. 31And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.16.31 as if…: Heb. was it a light thing, etc 32And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 33And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
34¶ In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
1Então a palavra do Senhor contra Baasa veio a Jeú, filho de Hanani: 2“Eu o levantei do pó e o tornei líder de Israel, o meu povo, mas você andou nos caminhos de Jeroboão e fez o meu povo pecar e provocar a minha ira por causa dos pecados deles. 3Por isso estou na iminência de destruir Baasa e a sua família, fazendo a ela o que fiz à de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate. 4Cães comerão os da família de Baasa que morrerem na cidade, e as aves do céu se alimentarão dos que morrerem no campo”.
5Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Baasa, seus atos e suas realizações estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel. 6Baasa descansou com os seus antepassados e foi sepultado em Tirza. E seu filho Elá foi o seu sucessor.
7A palavra do Senhor veio por meio do profeta Jeú, filho de Hanani, a Baasa e sua família, por terem feito o que o Senhor reprova, provocando a sua ira, tornando-se como a família de Jeroboão—e também porque Baasa destruiu a família de Jeroboão.
O Reinado de Elá, Rei de Israel
8No vigésimo sexto ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá, Elá, filho de Baasa, tornou-se rei de Israel e reinou dois anos em Tirza.
9Zinri, um dos seus oficiais, que comandava metade dos seus carros de guerra, conspirou contra ele. Elá estava em Tirza naquela ocasião, embriagando-se na casa de Arsa, o encarregado do palácio de Tirza. 10Zinri entrou, feriu-o e matou-o, no vigésimo sétimo ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá. E foi o seu sucessor.
11Assim que começou a reinar, logo que se assentou no trono, eliminou toda a família de Baasa. Não poupou uma só pessoa do sexo masculino16.11 Hebraico: dos que urinam na parede., fosse parente fosse amigo. 12Assim Zinri destruiu toda a família de Baasa, de acordo com a palavra do Senhor que o profeta Jeú dissera contra Baasa, 13por causa de todos os pecados que este e seu filho Elá haviam cometido e levado Israel a cometer, pois, com os seus ídolos inúteis, provocaram a ira do Senhor, o Deus de Israel.
14Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Elá e tudo o que fez estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel.
O Reinado de Zinri, Rei de Israel
15No vigésimo sétimo ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá, Zinri reinou sete dias em Tirza. O exército estava acampado perto da cidade filisteia de Gibetom. 16Quando os acampados souberam que Zinri havia conspirado contra o rei e o tinha assassinado, no mesmo dia, ali no acampamento, proclamaram Onri, o comandante do exército, rei sobre Israel. 17Então Onri e todo o seu exército saíram de Gibetom e sitiaram Tirza. 18Quando Zinri viu que a cidade tinha sido tomada, entrou na cidadela do palácio real e incendiou o palácio em torno de si, e morreu. 19Tudo por causa dos pecados que ele havia cometido, fazendo o que o Senhor reprova e andando nos caminhos de Jeroboão e no pecado que ele tinha cometido e levado Israel a cometer.
20Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Zinri e a rebelião que liderou estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel.
O Reinado de Onri, Rei de Israel
21Então o povo de Israel dividiu-se em duas facções: metade apoiava Tibni, filho de Ginate, para fazê-lo rei, e a outra metade apoiava Onri. 22Mas os seguidores de Onri revelaram-se mais fortes do que os de Tibni, filho de Ginate. E aconteceu que Tibni morreu e Onri tornou-se rei.
23No trigésimo primeiro ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá, Onri tornou-se rei de Israel e reinou doze anos, seis deles em Tirza. 24Por setenta quilos16.24 Hebraico: 2 talentos. Um talento equivalia a 35 quilos. de prata ele comprou de Sêmer a colina de Samaria, onde construiu uma cidade, a qual chamou Samaria, por causa de Sêmer, o nome do antigo proprietário da colina.
25Onri, porém, fez o que o Senhor reprova e pecou mais do que todos os que reinaram antes dele. 26Andou nos caminhos de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, e no pecado que ele tinha levado Israel a cometer, e assim, com os seus ídolos inúteis, provocou a ira do Senhor, o Deus de Israel.
27Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Onri, seus atos e suas realizações, tudo está escrito nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel. 28Onri descansou com os seus antepassados e foi sepultado em Samaria. E seu filho Acabe foi o seu sucessor.
O Reinado de Acabe, Rei de Israel
29No trigésimo oitavo ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá, Acabe, filho de Onri, tornou-se rei de Israel e reinou vinte e dois anos sobre Israel, em Samaria. 30Acabe, filho de Onri, fez o que o Senhor reprova, mais do que qualquer outro antes dele. 31Ele não apenas achou que não tinha importância cometer os pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, mas também se casou com Jezabel, filha de Etbaal, rei dos sidônios, e passou a prestar culto a Baal e a adorá-lo. 32No templo de Baal, que ele mesmo tinha construído em Samaria, Acabe ergueu um altar para Baal. 33Fez também um poste sagrado. Ele provocou a ira do Senhor, o Deus de Israel, mais do que todos os reis de Israel antes dele.
34Durante o seu reinado, Hiel, de Betel, reconstruiu Jericó. Lançou os alicerces à custa da vida do seu filho mais velho, Abirão, e instalou as suas portas à custa da vida do seu filho mais novo, Segube, de acordo com a palavra que o Senhor tinha falado por meio de Josué, filho de Num.
