1 Então a palavra do Senhor contra Baasa veio a Jeú, filho de Hanani:
2 "Eu o levantei do pó e o tornei líder de Israel, 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.
3 Por isso estou na iminência de destruir Baasa e a sua família, fazendo a ela o que fiz à de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate.
4 Cães comerão os da família de Baasa que morrerem na cidade, e as aves do céu se alimentarão dos que morrerem no campo".
5 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Baasa, o que fez e as suas realizações, estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel.
6 Baasa descansou com os seus antepassados e foi sepultado em Tirza. E seu filho Elá foi o seu sucessor.
7 A 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.
8 No 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.
9 Zinri, 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.
10 Zinri entrou e o feriu e o matou, no vigésimo sétimo ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá. E foi o seu sucessor.
11 Assim que começou a reinar, logo que se assentou no trono, eliminou toda a família de Baasa. Não poupou uma só pessoa do sexo masculino, fosse parente ou amigo.
12 Assim Zinri destruiu toda a família de Baasa, de acordo com a palavra do Senhor falada contra Baasa pelo profeta Jeú,
13 por causa de todos os pecados que Baasa 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.
14 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Elá e tudo o que fez estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel.
15 No vigésimo sétimo ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá, Zinri reinou sete dias em Tirza. O exército estava acampado perto da cidade filistéia de Gibetom.
16 Quando os acampados souberam que Zinri havia conspirado contra o rei e o tinha assassinado, proclamaram ali no acampamento, naquele mesmo dia, Onri, o comandante do exército, rei sobre Israel.
17 Então Onri e todo o seu exército saíram de Gibetom e sitiaram Tirza.
18 Quando Zinri viu que a cidade tinha sido tomada, entrou na cidadela do palácio real e incendiou o palácio em torno de si, e morreu.
19 Tudo 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.
20 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Zinri e a rebelião que liderou estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel.
21 Então 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.
22 Mas 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.
23 No trigésimo primeiro ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá, Onri tornou-se rei de Israel e reinou doze anos, seis deles em Tirza.
24 Por setenta 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.
25 Onri, porém, fez o que o Senhor reprova e pecou mais do que todos que reinaram antes dele.
26 Andou 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.
27 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Onri, o que fez e as suas realizações, tudo está escrito nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel.
28 Onri descansou com os seus antepassados e foi sepultado em Samaria. E seu filho Acabe foi o seu sucessor.
29 No 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.
30 Acabe, filho de Onri, fez o que o Senhor reprova, mais do que qualquer outro antes dele.
31 Ele 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 adorá-lo.
32 No templo de Baal, que ele mesmo tinha construído em Samaria, Acabe ergueu um altar para Baal.
33 Fez também um poste sagrado. Ele provocou a ira do Senhor, o Deus de Israel, mais do que todos os reis de Israel antes dele.
34 Durante o seu reinado, Hiel, de Betel, reconstruiu Jericó. Lançou os alicerces à custa do seu filho mais velho, Abirão, e instalou as suas portas à custa do seu filho mais novo, Segube, de acordo com a palavra que o Senhor tinha falado por meio de Josué, filho de Num.
1 Yahweh’s word came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 2 "Because 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 behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 4 The dogs will eat Baasha’s descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field, the birds of the sky will eat."
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 6 Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.
7 Moreover Yahweh’s word came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years. 9 His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah; 10 and Zimri went in and struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
11 When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He didn’t leave him a single one who urinates on a wall among his relatives or his friends. 12 Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, 13 for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities. 14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 16 The people who were encamped heard that Zimri had conspired, and had also killed the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain 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 When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the fortified part of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire, and died, 19 for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, 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 committed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings 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 prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. 23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah. 24 He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill. 25 Omri did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him. 26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the 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 showed, aren’t they 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.
29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 30 Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight above all that were before him. 31 As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him. 32 He raised up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 33 Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did more yet to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him. 34 In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho. He laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
