1) 1 Kings 15:25-34 , 1 Kings 16:1-34 , 2 Chronicles 17



1 Kings 15



Nadab, King of Israel



25 (1Ki 14:20) Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel

in the second year of Asa king of Judah and reigned over Israel two years.

26 (1Ki 14:16; 15:30) He did evil in the sight of the Lord and walked

in the way of his father and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.



25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second

year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his

father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.



27 (Jos 19:44; 21:23) Baasha the son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar

conspired against him, and Baasha killed him at Gibbethon,

which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel laid siege

to Gibbethon.

28 It was in the third year of Asa king of Judah

that Baasha killed him and took his throne.

29 (1Ki 14:9-16) When he became king, Baasha killed all the house of Jeroboam.

No one from Jeroboam's family was left breathing. He completely destroyed

them, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by His servant

Ahijah the Shilonite,

30 (1Ki 15:26) because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned

and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation with which he provoked

the Lord God of Israel to anger.

31 (1Ki 14:19) Now the rest of the acts of Nadab and all that he did,

are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

32 (1Ki 15:16) And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel

all their days.



27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against

him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines;

for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.

28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him,

and reigned in his stead.

29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house

of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had

destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake

by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

30 because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made

Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God

of Israel to anger.

31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did,

are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.



Baasha, King of Israel



33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began

to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, and he did so 24 years.

34 (1Ki 15:26; 12:28-29) He did evil in the sight of the Lord

and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin with

which he made Israel to sin.



33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah

to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.

34 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of

Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.



1 Kings 16



1 (2Ch 19:2; 20:34) Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu

the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

2 (1Ki 14:7; 15:34) "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 (1Ki 14:10) See, I will take away the posterity of Baasha and the posterity

of his house and will make your house

like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

4 (1Ki 14:11) Those from the house of Baasha who die in the city

will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the fields will be eaten

by the birds of the air."

5 (1Ki 14:19; 15:31) 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 (1Ki 14:17; 15:21) So Baasha slept with his fathers and was buried

in Tirzah, and Elah his son reigned in his place.

7 (1Ki 14:14; Ps 115:4) And so it was by the hand of the prophet Jehu

the son of Hanani that the word of the Lord came against Baasha

and his house, for all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord

in provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands

because he acted like the house of Jeroboam and also because he killed it.



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.



Elah, King of Israel



8 In the 26th year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha

began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and he did so two years.

9 (Ge 24:2; 39:4) His servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots,

conspired against him, and when he was in Tirzah, drinking himself

drunk in the house of Arza, manager of his house in Tirzah,

10 Zimri went in and smote him and killed him. This took place in the 27th

year of Asa king of Judah, and Zimri reigned in his place.

11 (1Sa 25:22; 1Ki 15:29) When he began to reign, as soon as he was seated

on his throne, he executed all the household of Baasha. He left no males,

neither of his relatives nor of his friends.

12 (1Ki 16:1) Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha,

according to the word of the Lord which He spoke against Baasha

by Jehu the prophet,

13 (Dt 32:21; 1Sa 12:21) because of 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?



Civil War in Israel



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?



Zimri, King of Israel



15 (1Ki 15:27; Jos 19:44) In the 27th year of Asa king of Judah,

Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the troops were encamped

against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

16 The troops who were encamped heard how Zimri had conspired

and had slain the king. As a result, all Israel made Omri,

the commander 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 (2Sa 17:23; 1Sa 31:4-5) When Zimri saw that the city had fallen,

he went into the citadel of the king's house and burned the king's house

over him with fire, and he died,

19 (1Ki 15:26; 12:28) because of 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 (1Ki 16:5; 16:14) Now the rest of the acts of Zimri and his treason,

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?





Omri, King of Israel



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.

22 But the people who followed Omri defeated the people who followed Tibni,

the son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

23 In the 31st year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel,

and he did so twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.

24 (1Ki 13:32) He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents

[About 150 pounds, or 68 kilograms. of silver].

He fortified the hill and named the city he built after the name of Shemer,

owner of the hill, calling it "Samaria.."

25 (Mic 6:16; 1Ki 14:9) But Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord

and did worse than all who preceded him,

26 (1Ki 16:19; 16:13) for he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam

the son of Nebat and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin

to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

27 Now the rest of the acts Omri performed and his might that he showed,

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 place.
