1 A palavra de Jeová veio a Jeú, filho de Hanani, contra Baasa, dizendo:
2 Porquanto te exaltei do pó, e te constituí príncipe sobre o meu povo de Israel, e tens andado no caminho de Jeroboão, e tens feito o meu povo de Israel pecar, para me provocar à ira com os seus pecados;
3 eis que hei de exterminar a Baasa e a sua casa e hei de fazer a tua casa como a casa de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate.
4 Quem morrer a Baasa na cidade, comê-lo-ão os cães; e quem lhe morrer no campo, comê-lo-ão as aves do céu.
5 Ora, o restante dos atos de Baasa, e o que ele fez, e a sua força, não estão, porventura, escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
6 Baasa adormeceu com seus pais, e foi sepultado em Tirza. Em seu lugar reinou seu filho Elá.
7 Além disso veio por intermédio do profeta Jeú, filho de Hanani, a palavra de Jeová contra Baasa, e contra a sua casa, não somente por causa de todo o mal que ele fez à vista de Jeová, para o provocar à ira com a obra das suas mãos, fazendo-se como a casa de Jeroboão, mas também porque matou a Jeroboão.
8 No vigésimo sexto ano de Asa, rei de Judá, começou Elá, filho de Baasa, a reinar sobre Israel em Tirza, e reinou dois anos.
9 Conspirou contra ele o seu servo Zinri, comandante da metade dos seus carros. Achava-se Elá em Tirza embebedando-se na casa de Arsa, que era seu mordomo em Tirza.
10 Entrou Zinri e o feriu, e o matou no ano vigésimo sétimo de Asa, rei de Judá, e reinou em lugar dele.
11 Quando ele começou a reinar, logo que se assentou no seu trono, feriu a toda a casa de Baasa, sem deixar a este um só homem, nem dos seus parentes nem dos seus amigos.
12 Assim extinguiu Zinri toda a casa de Baasa, conforme a palavra que Jeová falou contra Baasa por intermédio do profeta Jeú,
13 por causa de todos os pecados de Baasa, e dos pecados de seu filho Elá, que eles cometeram, e pelos que fizeram Israel pecar, irritando com as suas vaidades a Jeová, Deus de Israel.
14 Ora, o restante dos atos de Elá, e tudo o que ele fez, não estão, porventura, escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
15 No vigésimo sétimo ano de Asa, rei de Judá, reinou Zinri sete dias em Tirza. O povo estava acampado contra Gibetom, que pertencia aos filisteus.
16 O povo que estava acampado ouviu dizer: Zinri acaba de conspirar contra o rei e de matá-lo. Pelo que naquele dia, no arraial, todo o Israel constituiu rei sobre Israel a Onri, general do exército.
17 Subiu de Gibetom Onri com todo o Israel, e sitiaram a Tirza.
18 Vendo Zinri que a cidade era tomada, entrou no castelo da casa do rei, e queimou-a sobre si, e morreu,
19 por causa dos pecados que cometeu, fazendo o mal à vista de Jeová, andando no caminho de Jeroboão, e no pecado que este cometeu, para fazer Israel pecar.
20 Ora, o restante dos atos de Zinri, e a traição que praticou, não estão, porventura, escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
21 Então se dividiu o povo de Israel em dois partidos: metade do povo seguia a Tibni, filho de Ginate, para o constituir rei; e outra metade seguia a Onri.
22 O povo, porém, que seguia a Onri prevaleceu contra o que seguia a Tibni, filho de Ginate. Assim morreu Tibni, e reinou Onri.
23 No trigésimo primeiro ano de Asa, rei de Judá, começou Onri a reinar sobre Israel, e reinou doze anos. Em Tirza reinou seis anos.
24 Comprou de Semer o outeiro de Samaria por dois talentos de prata; edificou no outeiro, e chamou a cidade que edificou Samaria, do nome de Semer, senhor do outeiro.
25 Fez Onri o mal à vista de Jeová, e procedeu mais perversamente do que todos os que foram antes dele.
26 Pois ele andou em todos os caminhos de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, e em todos os pecados, com que este fizera Israel pecar, para irritar com suas vaidades a Jeová, Deus de Israel.
27 Ora, o restante dos atos que Onri fez, e o poder que manifestou, não estão, porventura, escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
28 Onri adormeceu com seus pais, e foi sepultado em Samaria. Em seu lugar reinou seu filho Acabe.
29 No trigésimo oitavo ano de Asa, rei de Judá, começou Acabe, filho de Onri, a reinar sobre Israel; e reinou sobre Israel em Samaria vinte e dois anos.
30 Acabe, filho de Onri, fez o mal à vista de Jeová mais do que todos os que foram antes dele.
31 Como se fora cousa de somenos importância andar ele nos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, tomou por mulher a Jezabel, filha de Etbaal, rei dos Sidônios, e foi e serviu a Baal, e o adorou.
32 Levantou um altar para Baal na casa de Baal, que ele tinha edificado em Samaria.
33 Também fabricou Acabe a Asera, e fez muito mais para irritar a Jeová, Deus de Israel, do que todos os reis de Israel que foram antes dele.
34 Foi em seus dias que Hiel betelita edificou a Jericó: quando lançou os seus aliceres, morreu-lhe Abirão, seu primogênito; e quando colocou as suas portas, morreu-lhe Segube, seu filho mais moço; conforme a palavra que Jeová falou por intermédio de Josué, filho de Num.
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jehu, son of Hanani, protesting against Baasha and saying,
2 Because I took you up out of the dust, and made you ruler over my people Israel; and you have gone in the ways of Jeroboam, and made my people Israel do evil, moving me to wrath by their sins;
3 Truly, I will see that Baasha and all his family are completely brushed away; I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
4 Anyone of the family of Baasha who comes to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and he to whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
6 And Baasha went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place.
7 And the Lord sent his word against Baasha and his family by the mouth of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, because of all the evil he did in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he put it to death.
8 In the twenty-sixth year that Asa was king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, became king of Israel in Tirzah, and he was king for two years.
9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his war-carriages, made secret designs against him: now he was in Tirzah, drinking hard in the house of Arza, controller of the king's house in Tirzah.
10 And Zimri went in and made an attack on him and put him to death, in the twenty-seventh year that Asa was king of Judah, and made himself king in his place.
11 And straight away when he became king and took his place on the seat of the kingdom, he put to death all the family of Baasha: not one male child of his relations or his friends kept his life.
12 So Zimri put to death all the family of Baasha, so that the word which the Lord said against him by the mouth of Jehu the prophet came about;
13 Because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish acts.
14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, Zimri was king for seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were attacking Gibbethon in the land of the Philistines.
16 And news came to the people in the tents that Zimri had made a secret design and had put the king to death: so all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king that day in the tents.
17 Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, with all the army of Israel, and they made an attack on Tirzah, shutting in the town on every side.
18 And when Zimri saw that the town was taken, he went into the inner room of the king's house, and burning the house over his head, came to his end,
19 Because of his sin in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, in going in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel do.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the secret design he made, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
21 Then there was a division among the people of Israel; half the people were for making Tibni, son of Ginath, king, and half were supporting Omri.
22 But the supporters of Omri overcame those who were on the side of Tibni, the son of Ginath; and death came to Tibni and to his brother Joram at that time: and Omri became king in the place of Tibni.
23 In the thirty-first year of Asa, king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and he was king for twelve years; for six years he was ruling in Tirzah.
24 He got the hill Samaria from Shemer for the price of two talents of silver, and he made a town there, building it on the hill and naming it Samaria, after Shemer the owner of the hill.
25 And Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all those before him,
26 Copying all the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and all the sins he did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish ways.
27 Now the rest of the acts which Omri did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
28 So Omri went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.
29 In the thirty-eighth year that Asa was king of Judah, Ahab, the son of Omri, became king over Israel; and Ahab was king in Samaria for twenty-two years.
30 And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all who went before him.
31 And as if copying the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, was a small thing for him, he took as his wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Zidon, and became a servant and worshipper of Baal.
32 And he put up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal which he had made in Samaria.
33 And Ahab made an image of Asherah and did more than all the kings of Israel before him to make the Lord, the God of Israel, angry.
34 In his days Hiel made Jericho; he put its base in position at the price of Abiram, his oldest son, and he put its doors in place at the price of his youngest son Segub; even as the Lord had said by Joshua, the son of Nun.
