1 Kings 16
16
1Then the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came to Yehu [Yehovah is He] the son of Hanani [gracious] against Ba’sha [wicked], saying,
2Forasmuch as I exalted youi out of the dust, and made youi prince over my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and youi have walked in the way of Yarov’am [the people will contend], and have made my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
3Behold, I will take away the posterity of Ba’sha [wicked], and the posterity of his house; and will make youi house like the house of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect].
4Him that dies of Ba’sha [wicked] in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dies of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
5Now the rest of the acts of Ba’sha [wicked], and what he did, and his might, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?
6So Ba’sha [wicked] slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirtzah [Favourable]: and Elah [an oak] his son reigned in his stead.
7And also by the hand of the prophet Yehu [Yehovah is He] the son of Hanani [gracious] came the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) against Ba’sha [wicked], and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Yarov’am [the people will contend]; and because he killed him.
8In the twenty and sixth year of Asa [healer; injurious?] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] began Elah [an oak] the son of Ba’sha [wicked] to reign over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in Tirtzah [Favourable], two years.
9And his servant Zimri [My Music], captain of half [his] chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirtzah [Favourable], drinking himself drunk in the house of Artza [earthy] steward of [his] house in Tirtzah [Favourable].
10And Zimri [My Music] went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa [healer; injurious?] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and reigned in his stead.
11And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, [that] he killed all the house of Ba’sha [wicked]: he left him not one that pisses against a wall, neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.
12Thus did Zimri [My Music] destroy all the house of Ba’sha [wicked], according to the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which he spoke against Ba’sha [wicked] by Yehu [Yehovah is He] the prophet,
13For all the sins of Ba’sha [wicked], and the sins of Elah [an oak] his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin, in provoking the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to anger with their vanities.
14Now the rest of the acts of Elah [an oak], and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?
15In the twenty and seventh year of Asa [healer; injurious?] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] did Zimri [My Music] reign seven days in Tirtzah [Favourable]. And the people [were] encamped against Gib’ton [mound], which [belonged] to the P’lishtim [Immigrants].
16And the people [that were] encamped heard say, Zimri [My Music] has conspired, and has also slain the king: wherefore all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] made ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah], the captain of the host, king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] that day in the camp.
17And ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] went up from Gib’ton [mound], and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with him, and they besieged Tirtzah [Favourable].
18And it came to pass, when Zimri [My Music] 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,
19For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), in walking in the way of Yarov’am [the people will contend], and in his sin which he did, to make Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin.
20Now the rest of the acts of Zimri [My Music], and his treason that he wrought, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?
21Then were the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tivni [intelligent] the son of Ginat [protection], to make him king; and half followed ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah].
22But the people that followed ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] prevailed against the people that followed Tivni [intelligent] the son of Ginat [protection]: so Tivni [intelligent] died, and ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] reigned.
23In the thirty and first year of Asa [healer; injurious?] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] began ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] to reign over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirtzah [Favourable].
24And he bought the hill Shomron [watch mountain] of Shemer [preserved] 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 [preserved], owner of the hill, Shomron [watch mountain].
25But ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and did worse than all that [were] before him.
26For he walked in all the way of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], and in his sin which he made Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin, to provoke the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to anger with their vanities.
27Now the rest of the acts of ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] which he did, and his might that he showed, [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?
28So ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] slept with his fathers, and was buried in Shomron [watch mountain]: and Ach’av [father’s brother] his son reigned in his stead.
29And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa [healer; injurious?] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] began Ach’av [father’s brother] the son of ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] to reign over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and Ach’av [father’s brother] the son of ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] reigned over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in Shomron [watch mountain] twenty and two years.
30And Ach’av [father’s brother] the son of ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] did evil in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) above all that [were] before him.
31And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], that he took to wife Izevel [Ba’al exalts] the daughter of Etba’al [with Ba’al] king of the people of Tzidon [Hunting], and went and served Ba’al [lord (a false god)], and worshipped him.
32And he reared up an altar for Ba’al [lord (a false god)] in the house of Ba’al [lord (a false god)], which he had built in Shomron [watch mountain].
33And Ach’av [father’s brother] made a grove; and Ach’av [father’s brother] did more to provoke the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to anger than all the kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] that were before him.
34In his days did Hi’el [God lives] the Beit-Eli [House of God] build Yericho [Its Moon]: he laid the foundation thereof in Aviram [My Father is Exalted] his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest [son] S’guv [exalted], according to the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which he spoke by Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] the son of Nun [Posterity].
