himself drunk in the_house_of Arza w steward_of his xhouse 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 be- gan_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.
2 Thus did Zimri destroy -all the_ house_of Baasha, according_to the_ word_of Jthe Lorp, 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 ~Israél to_sin, in provoking ’-the Lorp =God_ of Israél to_anger with their vanities.
14 Now the_rest_of the_acts_of Elah, and all that he did, are thep not writ- ten in the_book_of the ~ chronicles_of the_kings_of Israél ?
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 +encamp- ed heard say, “Zimri shath_conspired, and hath also slain -the king:” where- fore all Israél made »-Omri, the_cap- tain_of the host, king over Israél xthat xday in the camp.
7 And Omri went_up from Gibbeth- on, and all Israél 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_topalace_of the king’s rhouse, and burnt the king’s -house over him with xfire, and died,
19 For his sins which he sinned in doing xevil in the_sight_of ‘the Lorn, in walking in the_way_of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make -Israél to_sin.
20 Now the_rest_of the_acts_of Zimri, and his «treason that he co wrought, are thep not written in the_book_of the chronicles_of the_kings_of Israél ?
21 Then were the people_of Israél divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the_son_of Gi- nath, to make_-him_king; and xhalf followed Omri. :
22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed_against “the people that fol- lowed Tibni the_son_of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
2% In the_thirty and first year of Asa king_of Judah began » Omri to-reign over Israél, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
24 And he bought -the hill sSamaria of sk-Shemer for two_talents_of silver, and built_on name-of the city which he built, after the_name_of Shemer, owner-of the hill, Samaria.
2 But Omri wrought xeyil in the_ eyes_of ! the Lorn, 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
