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.
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.
