1 Then the Word of Jehovah came to Jehu the son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying:

2 Inasmuch as I raised you up out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, and you have walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and have made My people Israel sin, to provoke Me to anger with their sins,

3 behold, I will consume away after Baasha and after his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

4 The dogs shall eat whoever dies of Baasha in the city, and the birds of the heavens shall eat whoever dies in the fields.

5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.

6 So Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah. And Elah his son reigned in his place.

7 And also the Word of Jehovah came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil that he had done in the eyes of Jehovah to provoke Him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he killed them.

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

9 Now his servant Zimri, commander 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 struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he was seated on his throne, that he killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave him one who urinates against a wall, neither of his kinsmen nor of his friends.

12 Thus Zimri destroyed all the household of Baasha, according to the Word of Jehovah, which He had spoken against Baasha by the hand of Jehu the prophet,

13 for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son, by which they had sinned and by which they had made Israel sin, in provoking Jehovah the 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-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri had reigned in Tirzah seven days. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

16 And the people who were encamped heard it said, Zimri has conspired and also has killed the king. So all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

17 And Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.

18 And it happened, when Zimri saw that the city had been taken, that he went into the citadel of the king’s house and burned the king’s house down upon himself with fire, and died,

19 because of the sins which he had sinned in doing evil in the eyes of Jehovah, in walking in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he had done to make Israel sin.

20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the treason he committed, are they not 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 after Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half after Omri.

22 But the people following after Omri prevailed over the people following after Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri reigned.

23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and reigned twelve years. Six years he reigned in Tirzah.

24 And he bought the hill of Samaria from 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, owner of the hill.

25 And Omri did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and did worse than all who were before him;

26 for he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin, to provoke Jehovah the God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.

28 So Omri rested 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 became king over Israel; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, more than all who were before him.

31 And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal and bowed down to him.

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

33 And Ahab made a grove. Ahab did more to provoke Jehovah the God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

34 In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation with Abiram his firstborn, and with his youngest son Segub he set up its gates, according to the Word of Jehovah, which He had spoken through Joshua the son of Nun.

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.
