from Crossway1And the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, (2Ch 16:7; 2Ch 19:2; 2Ch 20:34)2“Since I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins, (1Ki 14:7; 1Ki 15:34)3behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. (1Ki 14:10; 1Ki 15:29; 1Ki 16:11; 1Ki 21:21)4Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone of his who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat.” (1Ki 14:11; 1Ki 21:24)5Now 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?6And Baasha slept with his fathers and was buried at Tirzah, and Elah his son reigned in his place. (1Ki 14:17; 1Ki 15:21)7Moreover, the word of the LORD came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and also because he destroyed it. (1Ki 15:27; 1Ki 15:29; 1Ki 16:1; Ho 1:4)
Elah Reigns in Israel
8In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and he reigned two years.9But his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. When he was at Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah, (1Ki 18:3; 2Ki 9:31)10Zimri came in and struck him down and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.11When he began to reign, as soon as he had seated himself on his throne, he struck down all the house of Baasha. He did not leave him a single male of his relatives or his friends. (1Sa 25:22; 1Ki 16:3)12Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, (1Ki 16:1; 1Ki 16:3)13for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and which they made Israel to sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their idols. (De 32:21; 1Ki 16:26)14Now 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?
Zimri Reigns in Israel
15In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the troops were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, (1Ki 15:27)16and the troops who were encamped heard it said, “Zimri has conspired, and he has killed the king.” Therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.17So Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.18And when Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire and died,19because of his sins that he committed, doing evil in the sight of the LORD, walking in the way of Jeroboam, and for his sin which he committed, making Israel to sin. (1Ki 15:26; 1Ki 15:34)20Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the conspiracy that he made, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Omri Reigns in Israel
21Then 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.22But the people who followed Omri overcame the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri became king.23In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and he reigned for twelve years; six years he reigned in Tirzah.24He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents[1] of silver, and he fortified the hill and called the name of the city that he built Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill. (1Ki 13:32; 1Ki 16:29; 1Ki 16:32)25Omri did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did more evil than all who were before him. (1Ki 16:30; Mic 6:16)26For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in the sins that he made Israel to sin, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols. (1Ki 16:13; 1Ki 16:19)27Now the rest of the acts of Omri that he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?28And Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigned in his place.
Ahab Reigns in Israel
29In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.30And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him. (1Ki 16:25; 1Ki 21:25)31And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took for his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him. (Ex 34:16; De 7:3; Jud 18:7; 1Ki 21:25; 1Ki 21:26; 2Ki 3:2; 2Ki 10:18; 2Ki 17:16)32He erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria. (2Ki 10:21; 2Ki 10:26; 2Ki 10:27)33And Ahab made an Asherah. Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him. (Ex 34:13; 1Ki 16:30; 1Ki 18:19; 2Ki 13:6; 2Ki 17:10; 2Ki 21:3; 2Ch 14:3; Jer 17:2)34In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation at the cost of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun. (Jos 6:26; 2Ki 2:4; 2Ki 2:18)
1 Kings 16
King James Version
1Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,2Forasmuch 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;3Behold, 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.4Him 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.5Now 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?6So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.7And 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.8In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.9And 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.10And 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.11And 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.12Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,13For 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.14Now 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?15In 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.16And 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.17And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.18And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king' house, and burnt the king' house over him with fire, and died,19For 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.20Now 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?21Then 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.22But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.23In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.24And 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.25But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.26For 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.27Now 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?28So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.29And 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.30And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD 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 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.32And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.33And 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.34In his days did Hiel the Bethelite 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.
1 Kings 16
Nuova Riveduta 2006
from Società Biblica di Ginevra1La parola del Signore fu rivolta a Ieu, figlio di Canani, contro Baasa, in questi termini:2«Io ti ho innalzato dalla polvere e ti ho fatto principe del mio popolo Israele, ma tu hai seguito la via di Geroboamo e hai spinto il mio popolo Israele a peccare, provocando il mio sdegno con i suoi peccati;3perciò io spazzerò via Baasa e la sua casa, e farò della tua casa quel che ho fatto della casa di Geroboamo, figlio di Nebat.4Quelli di Baasa che moriranno in città saranno divorati dai cani, e quelli che moriranno nei campi saranno divorati dagli uccelli del cielo».5Le rimanenti azioni di Baasa, le sue gesta e le sue prodezze, risultano scritte nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.6E Baasa si addormentò con i suoi padri e fu sepolto a Tirsa; ed Ela, suo figlio, regnò al suo posto.7La parola del Signore, per mezzo del profeta Ieu, figlio di Canani, fu diretta contro Baasa e contro la casa di lui, per tutto il male che Baasa aveva fatto sotto gli occhi del Signore, provocandolo a ira, con l’opera delle sue mani, perché aveva imitato la casa di Geroboamo e aveva sterminato quella casa.
Ela, re d’Israele
8Il ventiseiesimo anno di Asa, re di Giuda, Ela, figlio di Baasa, cominciò a regnare sopra Israele. Stava a Tirsa, e regnò due anni.9Zimri, suo servitore, che comandava la metà dei suoi carri, congiurò contro di lui. Ela stava a Tirsa, bevendo e ubriacandosi in casa di Arsa, sovrintendente del palazzo di Tirsa.10Zimri entrò, lo colpì e lo uccise, il ventisettesimo anno di Asa, re di Giuda, e regnò al suo posto.11Quando fu re, appena fu sul trono, distrusse tutta la casa di Baasa; non gli lasciò neppure un uomo, né parenti, né amici.12Così Zimri sterminò tutta la casa di Baasa, secondo la parola che il Signore aveva pronunciata contro Baasa per bocca del profeta Ieu,13a causa di tutti i peccati che Baasa ed Ela, suo figlio, avevano commessi e fatto commettere a Israele, provocando l’ira del Signore, Dio d’Israele, con i loro idoli.14Il resto delle azioni di Ela e tutto quello che fece risulta scritto nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.
Zimri, re d’Israele
15Il ventisettesimo anno di Asa, re di Giuda, Zimri regnò per sette giorni a Tirsa. Il popolo era accampato contro Ghibbeton, città dei Filistei.16Il popolo accampato in quel luogo sentì dire: «Zimri ha fatto una congiura e ha perfino ucciso il re!» E quello stesso giorno, nell’accampamento, tutto Israele fece re d’Israele Omri, capo dell’esercito.17E Omri con tutto Israele salì da Ghibbeton e assediò Tirsa.18Zimri, vedendo che la città era presa, si ritirò nella torre del palazzo del re, diede fuoco al palazzo del re e morì.19Così morì a causa dei peccati che aveva commessi, facendo ciò che è male agli occhi del Signore, seguendo la via di Geroboamo e abbandonandosi al peccato che questi aveva commesso, spingendo Israele a peccare.20Il resto delle azioni di Zimri, la congiura che egli tramò, sono scritte nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.21Allora il popolo d’Israele si divise in due parti; metà del popolo seguiva Tibni, figlio di Ghinat, per farlo re; l’altra metà seguiva Omri.22Ma il popolo che seguiva Omri prevalse su quello che seguiva Tibni, figlio di Ghinat. Tibni morì e regnò Omri.
Omri, re d’Israele; Samaria, capitale del regno
23Il trentunesimo anno di Asa, re di Giuda, Omri cominciò a regnare sopra Israele, e regnò dodici anni. Regnò sei anni a Tirsa.24Poi comprò da Semer il monte di Samaria per due talenti d’argento; costruì su quel monte una città; e alla città che costruì diede il nome di Samaria dal nome di Semer, padrone del monte.25Omri fece ciò che è male agli occhi del Signore e fece peggio di tutti i suoi predecessori;26seguì in tutto la via di Geroboamo, figlio di Nebat, e si abbandonò ai peccati che Geroboamo aveva fatto commettere a Israele, provocando lo sdegno del Signore, Dio d’Israele, con i suoi idoli.27Il resto delle azioni compiute da Omri e le prodezze da lui fatte stanno scritte nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.28Omri si addormentò con i suoi padri e fu sepolto a Samaria; e Acab, suo figlio, regnò al suo posto.
Acab, re d’Israele; matrimonio con Izebel
29Acab, figlio di Omri, cominciò a regnare sopra Israele l’anno trentottesimo di Asa, re di Giuda; e regnò a Samaria, sopra Israele, per ventidue anni.30Acab, figlio di Omri, fece ciò che è male agli occhi del Signore più di tutti quelli che l’avevano preceduto.31Come se fosse stato per lui poca cosa abbandonarsi ai peccati di Geroboamo, figlio di Nebat, prese in moglie Izebel, figlia di Etbaal, re dei Sidoni, andò ad adorare Baal[1], a prostrarsi davanti a lui,32e innalzò un altare a Baal, nel tempio di Baal, che costruì a Samaria.33Acab fece anche l’idolo di Astarte. Acab fece più di quello che avevano fatto tutti i precedenti re d’Israele per provocare lo sdegno del Signore, Dio d’Israele.34Al tempo di lui, Chiel, di Betel, ricostruì Gerico; ne gettò le fondamenta su Abiram, suo primogenito, e ne rizzò le porte su Segub, il più giovane dei suoi figli, secondo la parola che il Signore aveva pronunciata per bocca di Giosuè, figlio di Nun.
1 Kings 16
Hoffnung für alle
from Biblica1Eines Tages schickte der HERR den Propheten Jehu, einen Sohn von Hanani, mit folgender Botschaft zu Bascha:2»Aus dem einfachen Volk habe ich dich erwählt[1] und als König über mein Volk Israel eingesetzt. Aber du bist wie Jerobeam: Auch du verführst die Israeliten zum Götzendienst. Wenn ich sehe, wie sie sich von mir abwenden, werde ich zornig.3Darum soll es deiner Familie gehen wie der Familie von Jerobeam, Nebats Sohn: Ich werde dafür sorgen, dass das Geschlecht Bascha ausgerottet wird. Kein Einziger deiner Nachkommen wird überleben.4Wer von ihnen in der Stadt stirbt, wird von Hunden zerrissen, und wer auf freiem Feld stirbt, über den werden die Raubvögel herfallen.«5Alles Weitere über Baschas Leben steht in der Chronik der Könige von Israel. Man kann dort von seinen militärischen Erfolgen erfahren.6Als er starb, wurde er in Tirza begraben. Sein Sohn Ela wurde sein Nachfolger.7Aus zwei Gründen musste der Prophet Jehu, der Sohn von Hanani, Bascha und seiner Familie die Strafe des HERRN ankündigen: Zum einen hatte er den Götzen geopfert und durch alles, was er tat, den Zorn des HERRN herausgefordert, so wie die Familie von Jerobeam; und dann hatte er noch Jerobeams Familie kaltblütig ermorden lassen.
König Ela von Israel
8Ela, Baschas Sohn, wurde König von Israel im 26. Regierungsjahr König Asas von Juda. Er regierte zwei Jahre in Tirza.9Dann zettelte Simri, einer seiner Untergebenen, dem die Hälfte aller Streitwagen unterstand, eine Verschwörung gegen ihn an. König Ela war gerade in Tirza bei seinem Palastverwalter Arza eingeladen und hatte sich dort betrunken.10Da drang Simri in das Haus ein, erschlug Ela und ließ sich zum neuen König ausrufen. Dies geschah im 27. Regierungsjahr König Asas von Juda.11Kaum hatte Simri die Herrschaft an sich gerissen, brachte er alle männlichen Nachkommen von Bascha um. Keiner kam mit dem Leben davon. Sogar noch entferntere Verwandte und Freunde des früheren Königs ließ Simri ermorden.12So traf ein, was der HERR durch den Propheten Jehu schon Bascha vorausgesagt hatte.13Denn Bascha und sein Sohn Ela hatten die Israeliten zum Götzendienst verführt. Sie verehrten tote Götzen und forderten dadurch den Zorn des HERRN heraus.14Alles Weitere über Elas Leben steht in der Chronik der Könige von Israel.
König Simri von Israel
15Simri wurde König von Israel im 27. Regierungsjahr König Asas von Juda. Er war aber nur eine Woche lang König. Das israelitische Heer belagerte währenddessen immer noch die Philisterstadt Gibbeton.16Als im Feldlager bekannt wurde, dass Simri eine Verschwörung angezettelt und den König umgebracht hatte, da riefen die Soldaten noch am selben Tag ihren Heerführer Omri zum neuen König aus.17Danach zog das ganze Heer unter Omris Führung von Gibbeton gegen die Stadt Tirza, belagerte sie und nahm sie ein.18Als Simri merkte, dass alles verloren war, zog er sich in die Zitadelle des Palasts zurück, zündete den Palast an und starb im Feuer.19So wurde er bestraft für seine schweren Sünden. Denn wie Jerobeam hatte er getan, was dem HERRN missfiel, und ganz Israel zum Götzendienst verführt.20Alles Weitere über Simri und seine Verschwörung steht in der Chronik der Könige von Israel.
König Omri von Israel
21Nach Simris Tod gab es eine Spaltung im Volk: Der eine Teil wollte Tibni, den Sohn von Ginat, zum König machen. Der andere Teil stand hinter Omri.22Die Anhänger von Omri waren Tibnis Anhängern aber überlegen, und als Tibni starb, wurde Omri König über das ganze Volk.23Omri wurde König von Israel im 31. Regierungsjahr König Asas von Juda. Er regierte insgesamt zwölf Jahre. Die ersten sechs Jahre residierte er in Tirza.24Dann kaufte er von Schemer für 70 Kilogramm Silber den Berg Samaria. Er baute dort eine Stadt und machte sie zu seinem neuen Regierungssitz. In Erinnerung an Schemer, den früheren Besitzer des Berges, nannte er die Stadt Samaria.25Auch Omri tat, was dem HERRN missfiel; er trieb es schlimmer als alle seine Vorgänger.26Er beging genau dieselben Sünden wie Jerobeam, der Sohn von Nebat, und verehrte wie dieser tote Götzen. Dadurch wurde das ganze Volk zum Götzendienst verführt und erregte den Zorn des HERRN.27Alles Weitere über Omris Leben und seine militärischen Erfolge steht in der Chronik der Könige von Israel.28Als Omri starb, wurde er in Samaria begraben. Sein Sohn Ahab wurde sein Nachfolger.
König Ahab von Israel
29Ahab, Omris Sohn, wurde König von Israel im 38. Regierungsjahr König Asas von Juda. Er regierte 22 Jahre in Samaria.30Auch Ahab tat, was dem HERRN missfiel, noch schlimmer als alle seine Vorgänger.31Nicht genug, dass er wie Jerobeam, dem Sohn von Nebat, am Götzendienst festhielt; er ging noch weiter und heiratete Isebel, die Tochter König Etbaals von Sidon. Er verehrte ihren Götzen Baal und betete ihn an.32Ja, er baute ihm in Samaria sogar einen Tempel mit einem Altar.33Außerdem ließ er einen Pfahl aufstellen, welcher der Göttin Aschera geweiht war. Mit allem, was er tat, schürte er den Zorn des HERRN, des Gottes Israels, so sehr wie kein anderer israelitischer König vor ihm.34Während Ahabs Regierungszeit baute Hiël aus Bethel die Stadt Jericho wieder auf. Als das Fundament gelegt wurde, starb sein ältester Sohn Abiram, und als er die Stadttore einsetzte, verlor er Segub, seinen jüngsten Sohn. So traf ein, was der HERR damals durch Josua, den Sohn von Nun, angedroht hatte.[2] (Jos 6:26)
