16 Markaas waxaa Yeehuu ina Xanaanii u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo ka gees ah Bacshaa, oo leh, Ciiddaan kaa sara mariyey, oo waxaan kaa dhigay amiir u taliya dadkayga Israa'iil, oo adna waxaad ku socotay jidkii Yaaraabcaam, oo dadkaygii Israa'iilna waad dembaajisay, oo waxaad ka dhigtay inay dembiyadoodii igaga xanaajiyaan, sidaas daraaddeed bal eeg, Bacshaa iyo reerkiisa oo dhanba waan wada baabbi'inayaa, oo reerkaagana waxaan ka dhigayaa sidii reerkii Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad oo kale. Oo dadka Bacshaa kii magaalada kaga dhinta waxaa cuni doona eeyaha, oo kii duurka kaga dhintana waxaa cuni doona haadka samada. Haddaba Bacshaa falimihiisii kale, iyo wixii uu sameeyey, iyo xooggiisii oo dhammu sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Israa'iil? Markaasaa Bacshaa dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay Tirsaah, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Eelaah. Haddana waxaa Nebi Yeehuu ina Xanaanii u yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo ka gees ah Bacshaa iyo reerkiisaba, sababtuna waxay ahayd sharkii uu Rabbiga hortiisa ku sameeyey oo dhan ee uu Rabbiga kaga xanaajiyey shuqulkii gacmihiisa, markuu la mid noqday reer Yaaraabcaam, iyo diliddii uu dilay aawadeed.

Eelaah, Boqorkii Dalka Israa'iil

Oo Aasaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah sannaddiisii lix iyo labaatanaad ayaa Eelaah oo ahaa ina Bacshaa dalka Israa'iil boqor ugu noqday Tirsaah, oo wuxuu boqor ahaa laba sannadood. Oo addoonkiisii Simrii oo sirkaal u ahaa gaadhifardoodkiisa badhkood ayaa isaga shirqoolay. Haddaba wuxuu joogay Tirsaah isagoo khamri ku cabbaya guriga Arsaa oo madax u ahaa reerkiisii Tirsaah ku yiil; 10 oo waxaa u soo galay Simrii, markaasuu wax ku dhuftay, oo dilay isagii, waxayna ahayd Aasaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah sannaddiisii toddoba iyo labaatanaad, oo meeshiisiina isagaa boqor ka noqday. 11 Isla markuu boqor noqday ee uu carshigiisii ku fadhiistay wuxuu wada laayay reerkii Bacshaa oo dhan; oo ugama uu reebin dadkii qaraabadiisa ahaa ama saaxiibbadiis toona xataa wiil yar oo keliya. 12 Oo Simrii saasuu u baabbi'iyey reerkii Bacshaa oo dhan, oo waxay noqotay sidii Eraygii Rabbiga ee Bacshaa ka geesta ahaa ee Nebi Yeehuu ku hadlay, 13 sababtuna waxay ahayd dembiyadii Bacshaa iyo dembiyadii wiilkiisii Eelaah oo dhan ee ay dembaabeen ee ay dadkii Israa'iilna dembaajiyeen ee ay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil kaga xanaajiyeen falimahoodii aan waxtarka lahayn. 14 Haddaba Eelaah falimihiisii kale, iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhammuba sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Israa'iil?

Simrii, Boqorkii Dalka Israa'iil

15 Oo Aasaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah sannaddiisii toddoba iyo labaatanaad ayaa Simrii intii toddoba maalmood ah boqor ku ahaa Tirsaah. Haddaba dadkii waxay iyagoo ka gees ah ag degeen Gibbetoon oo ay reer Falastiin lahaayeen. 16 Oo dadkii magaalada ag degay waxay maqleen oo lagu yidhi, Simrii shirqool buu sameeyey oo boqorkiina wuu dilay. Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii dalka Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay maalintaas xerada dhexdeeda dalka Israa'iil boqor uga dhigeen Coomrii oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka. 17 Oo Coomrii wuxuu ka kacay Gibbetoon isagoo ay dadkii Israa'iil oo dhammu la socdaan, markaasay Tirsaah hareereeyeen. 18 Markii Simrii arkay in magaaladii la qabsaday ayuu galay qalcaddii gurigii boqorka, kolkaasuu gurigii boqorka isku gubay, wuuna u dhintay 19 dembiyadiisii uu dembaabay markuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ahaa, oo uu ku socday jidkii Yaaraabcaam, iyo dembigii uu sameeyey ee uu dadkii Israa'iilna dembaajiyey. 20 Haddaba Simrii falimihiisii kale iyo fallaagowgiisii uu sameeyeyba sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Israa'iil?

Coomrii, Boqorkii Dalka Israa'iil

21 Markaasaa dadkii dalka Israa'iil laba meelood u kala qaybsamay; dadkii badhkiis wuxuu raacay Tibnii oo ahaa ina Giinad, oo boqor bay ka dhigteen; badhkii kalena wuxuu raacay Coomrii. 22 Laakiinse dadkii Coomrii raacay waxay ka adkaadeen dadkii raacay Tibnii ina Giinad. Markaasaa Tibnii dhintay, Coomriina boqor buu noqday. 23 Oo Aasaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah sannaddiisii kow iyo soddonaad ayaa Coomrii dalka Israa'iil boqor ka noqday, oo wuxuu boqor ahaa laba iyo toban sannadood oo Tirsaah wuxuu boqor ka ahaa lix sannadood. 24 Oo Shemer ayuu buurtii Samaariya kaga iibsaday laba talanti oo lacag ah; markaasuu buurta dusheedii magaalo ka dhisay, oo magaaladii uu dhisay magaceediina wuxuu u bixiyey Samaariya, oo wuxuu ku magacaabay ninkii Shemer ahaa ee buurta lahaa. 25 Oo Coomriina wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ahaa, oo wuxuu ku kacay shar ka sii daran sharkii kuwii isaga ka horreeyey oo dhan. 26 Oo wuxuu ku socday jidkii Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad oo dhan, iyo dembiyadii uu dadkii Israa'iil dembaajiyey ee ay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil kaga xanaajiyeen falimahoodii aan waxtarka lahayn. 27 Haddaba Coomrii falimihiisii kale ee uu sameeyey, iyo xooggiisii uu muujiyeyba sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Israa'iil? 28 Markaasaa Coomrii dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay Samaariya; oo wiilkiisii Axaab ayaa meeshiisii boqor ka noqday.

Axaab, Boqorkii Dalka Israa'iil

29 Oo Aasaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah sannaddiisii siddeed iyo soddonaad ayaa Axaab oo ahaa ina Coomrii dalka Israa'iil boqor ka noqday, oo wuxuu dalka Israa'iil Samaariya boqor ugu ahaa laba iyo labaatan sannadood. 30 Oo Axaab oo ahaa ina Coomrii wuxuu sameeyey wixii shar ku ahaa Rabbiga hortiisa oo ka sii daran sharkii kuwii isaga ka horreeyey oo dhan. 31 Markaas sidii iyadoo la sahlan isaga inuu sameeyo dembiyadii Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad, wuxuu guursaday Yesebeel oo ahayd ina Etbacal boqorkii reer Siidoon, wuuna tegey oo u adeegay oo caabuday Bacal. 32 Oo Bacal aawadiis wuxuu meel allabari uga dhisay gurigii Bacal ee uu hore uga dhex dhisay Samaariya. 33 Oo haddana Axaab wuxuu sameeyey geed Asheeraah, oo Axaab haddana wuu ka sii xanaajiyey Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil si ka sii daran boqorradii dalka Israa'iil ee isaga ka horreeyey oo dhan. 34 Oo wakhtigiisii Yerixoo waxaa dhisay nin reer Beytel ah oo magiciisa la odhan jiray Xii'eel; oo markuu aasaaskeedii dhigay waxaa ka dhintay wiilkiisii curadka ahaa oo Abiiraam ahaa, markuu irdaheedii taagayna waxaa ka dhintay wiilkiisii yaraa oo Seguub ahaa, oo waxay noqotay sidii eraygii Rabbigu kula hadlay Yashuuca ina Nuun.

16 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu(A) son of Hanani(B) concerning Baasha: “I lifted you up from the dust(C) and appointed you ruler(D) over my people Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and caused(E) my people Israel to sin and to arouse my anger by their sins. So I am about to wipe out Baasha(F) and his house,(G) and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat. Dogs(H) will eat those belonging to Baasha who die in the city, and birds(I) will feed on those who die in the country.”

As for the other events of Baasha’s reign, what he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals(J) of the kings of Israel? Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah.(K) And Elah his son succeeded him as king.

Moreover, the word of the Lord came(L) through the prophet Jehu(M) son of Hanani to Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger by the things he did, becoming like the house of Jeroboam—and also because he destroyed it.

Elah King of Israel

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.

Zimri, one of his officials, who had command of half his chariots, plotted against him. Elah was in Tirzah at the time, getting drunk(N) in the home of Arza, the palace administrator(O) at Tirzah. 10 Zimri came in, struck him down and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah. Then he succeeded him as king.(P)

11 As soon as he began to reign and was seated on the throne, he killed off Baasha’s whole family.(Q) He did not spare a single male, whether relative or friend. 12 So Zimri destroyed the whole family of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu— 13 because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.(R)

14 As for the other events of Elah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?

Zimri King of Israel

15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah seven days. The army was encamped near Gibbethon,(S) a Philistine town. 16 When the Israelites in the camp heard that Zimri had plotted against the king and murdered him, they proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that very day there in the camp. 17 Then Omri and all the Israelites with him withdrew from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirzah. 18 When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the royal palace and set the palace on fire around him. So he died, 19 because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

20 As for the other events of Zimri’s reign, and the rebellion he carried out, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?

Omri King of Israel

21 Then the people of Israel were split into two factions; half supported Tibni son of Ginath for king, and the other half supported Omri. 22 But Omri’s followers proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.

23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.(T) 24 He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents[a] of silver and built a city on the hill, calling it Samaria,(U) after Shemer, the name of the former owner of the hill.

25 But Omri did evil(V) in the eyes of the Lord and sinned more than all those before him. 26 He followed completely the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused(W) Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.(X)

27 As for the other events of Omri’s reign, what he did and the things he achieved, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 28 Omri rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria.(Y) And Ahab his son succeeded him as king.

Ahab Becomes King of Israel

29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. 30 Ahab son of Omri did more(Z) evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him. 31 He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married(AA) Jezebel daughter(AB) of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal(AC) and worship him. 32 He set up an altar(AD) for Baal in the temple(AE) of Baal that he built in Samaria. 33 Ahab also made an Asherah pole(AF) and did more(AG) to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.

34 In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken by Joshua son of Nun.(AH)
