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)

  1. 1 Kings 16:24 That is, about 150 pounds or about 68 kilograms

16 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

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;

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.

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.

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?

So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.

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.

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.

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.

31 And 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.

32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

33 And 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 Bethelite 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.
