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 Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 2 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; 3 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. 4 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. 5 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? 6 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead. 7 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.
8 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. 9 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 Beth-elite 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.
