from Biblica1Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu son of Hanani concerning Baasha:2‘I lifted you up from the dust and appointed you ruler over my people Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and caused my people Israel to sin and to arouse my anger by their sins.3So I am about to wipe out Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat.4Dogs will eat those belonging to Baasha who die in the city, and birds will feed on those who die in the country.’5As for the other events of Baasha’s reign, what he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?6Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah. And Elah his son succeeded him as king.7Moreover, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani to Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger by the things he did, becoming like the house of Jeroboam – and also because he destroyed it.
Elah king of Israel
8In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah for two years.9Zimri, one of his officials, who had command of half his chariots, plotted against him. Elah was in Tirzah at the time, getting drunk in the home of Arza, the palace administrator at Tirzah.10Zimri came in, struck him down and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah. Then he succeeded him as king.11As soon as he began to reign and was seated on the throne, he killed off Baasha’s whole family. He did not spare a single male, whether relative or friend.12So Zimri destroyed the whole family of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu –13because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.14As for the other events of Elah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
Zimri king of Israel
15In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah for seven days. The army was encamped near Gibbethon, a Philistine town.16When the Israelites in the camp heard that Zimri had plotted against the king and murdered him, they proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that very day there in the camp.17Then Omri and all the Israelites with him withdrew from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirzah.18When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the royal palace and set the palace on fire around him. So he died,19because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.20As for the other events of Zimri’s reign, and the rebellion he carried out, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
Omri king of Israel
21Then the people of Israel were split into two factions; half supported Tibni son of Ginath for king, and the other half supported Omri.22But Omri’s followers proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.23In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned for twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.24He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents[1] of silver and built a city on the hill, calling it Samaria, after Shemer, the name of the former owner of the hill.25But Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord and sinned more than all those before him.26He followed completely the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.27As for the other events of Omri’s reign, what he did and the things he achieved, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?28Omri rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria. And Ahab his son succeeded him as king.
Ahab becomes king of Israel
29In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel for twenty-two years.30Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him.31He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him.32He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria.33Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.34In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken by Joshua son of Nun.
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.

Elberfelder Bibel
from SCM Verlag1Und es geschah das Wort des HERRN zu Jehu, dem Sohn des Hanani, gegen Bascha: (2Ki 17:13; 2Ch 16:7)2Weil ich dich aus dem Staub erhoben und dich zum Fürsten über mein Volk Israel gemacht habe, du aber auf dem Weg Jerobeams gegangen bist und mein Volk Israel zur Sünde verführt hast, sodass sie mich durch ihre Sünden zum Zorn reizen, (1Ki 14:7; 1Ki 14:16; Ps 113:7)3siehe, so werde ich hinter Bascha und hinter seinem Haus her ausfegen lassen und werde dein Haus machen wie das Haus Jerobeams, des Sohnes Nebats. (1Ki 15:29)4Wer von Bascha in der Stadt stirbt, den werden die Hunde fressen, und wer von ihm auf ⟨freiem⟩ Feld stirbt, den werden die Vögel des Himmels fressen. (1Ki 14:11)5Und die übrige Geschichte[1] Baschas und ⟨alles,⟩ was er getan hat, und seine Machttaten, ist das nicht geschrieben im Buch der Geschichte[2] der Könige von Israel? (1Ki 14:19)6Und Bascha legte sich zu seinen Vätern und wurde in Tirza begraben. Und sein Sohn Ela wurde an seiner Stelle König. (1Ki 14:17; 1Ki 16:8)7Auch durch den Propheten Jehu, den Sohn des Hanani, war das Wort des HERRN gegen Bascha und gegen sein Haus ergangen, und zwar wegen all des Bösen, das er in den Augen des HERRN getan hatte, um ihn durch das Tun seiner Hände zum Zorn zu reizen, sodass er dem Haus Jerobeam gleich werden sollte, und ⟨auch⟩ deswegen, weil er dieses[3] erschlagen hatte. (1Ki 15:29; 2Ki 17:13; 2Ch 16:7)
Ela von Israel und die Verschwörung Simris – Simris Ende
8Im 26. Jahr Asas, des Königs von Juda, wurde Ela, der Sohn Baschas, König über Israel in Tirza ⟨und regierte⟩ zwei Jahre. (1Ki 16:6)9Gegen ihn verschwor sich sein Knecht Simri, der Oberste über die Hälfte der Kriegswagen. Er aber hatte getrunken und sich berauscht in Tirza, im Haus Arzas, der über das Haus in Tirza ⟨gesetzt war⟩. (1Ki 15:27; 1Ki 20:16; Pr 23:34)10Da kam Simri herein und erschlug ihn; er tötete ihn im 27. Jahr Asas, des Königs von Juda, und wurde an seiner Stelle König. (1Ki 15:27; 1Ki 16:15; 2Ki 9:31; 2Ki 15:10)11Und es geschah, als er König war, sobald er auf seinem Thron saß, erschlug er das ganze Haus Baschas; er ließ nichts von ihm übrig, was männlich war[4], weder seine Blutsverwandten noch seine Freunde. (1Ki 15:29; Ps 109:13)12So tilgte Simri das ganze Haus Baschas aus nach dem Wort des HERRN, das er durch den Propheten Jehu gegen Bascha geredet hatte,13wegen all der Sünden Baschas und der Sünden seines Sohnes Ela, die sie begangen und mit denen sie Israel zur Sünde verführt hatten, den HERRN, den Gott Israels, durch ihre nichtigen Götzen[5] zum Zorn zu reizen. (1Ki 14:16; 1Ki 16:26)14Und die übrige Geschichte[6] Elas und alles, was er getan hat, ist das nicht geschrieben im Buch der Geschichte[7] der Könige von Israel? (1Ki 14:19; 1Ki 16:27)15Im 27. Jahr Asas, des Königs von Juda, wurde Simri ⟨für⟩ sieben Tage König in Tirza, während das Volk gegen Gibbeton, das den Philistern gehörte, das Kriegslager aufgeschlagen hatte. (1Ki 15:27; 1Ki 16:10)16Und als das Volk im Kriegslager[8] sagen hörte: Simri hat eine Verschwörung gemacht und hat auch den König erschlagen, da machte ganz Israel den Heerobersten Omri an demselben Tag im Lager zum König über Israel. (1Ki 15:27)17Und Omri zog herauf und ganz Israel mit ihm von Gibbeton, und sie belagerten Tirza.18Und es geschah, als Simri sah, dass die Stadt eingenommen war, ging er in den Palast des Königshauses und verbrannte das Königshaus über sich mit Feuer und starb (2Sa 17:23; 2Ki 9:31)19wegen seiner Sünden, die er begangen hatte, indem er tat, was böse war in den Augen des HERRN, indem er auf dem Weg Jerobeams und in seiner Sünde lebte[9], die der getan hatte, um Israel zur Sünde zu verführen. (1Ki 14:16)20Und die übrige Geschichte[10] Simris und seine Verschwörung, die er gemacht hat, ist das nicht geschrieben im Buch der Geschichte[11] der Könige von Israel? (1Ki 14:19; 1Ki 16:27)
Omri von Israel
21Damals teilte sich das Volk Israel in ⟨zwei⟩ Hälften: Die eine Hälfte des Volkes folgte Tibni, dem Sohn des Ginat, um ihn zum König zu machen; und die andere Hälfte folgte Omri. (Pr 28:2; Isa 9:18)22Aber das Volk, das Omri folgte, war dem Volk, das Tibni, dem Sohn des Ginat, folgte, überlegen. Und Tibni starb, und Omri wurde König.23Im 31. Jahr Asas, des Königs von Juda, wurde Omri König über Israel ⟨und regierte⟩ zwölf Jahre; in Tirza war er sechs Jahre König. (2Ki 8:26)24Und er kaufte den Berg Samaria von Schemer für zwei Talente Silber. Und er bebaute den Berg und gab der Stadt, die er gebaut hatte, den Namen Samaria nach dem Namen Schemers, des ⟨ehemaligen⟩ Besitzers des Berges. (Am 6:1; Mic 1:5)25Und Omri tat, was böse war in den Augen des HERRN, und zwar schlimmer als alle, die vor ihm gewesen waren. (1Ki 14:9; 1Ki 16:30; 1Ki 21:25; 2Ki 17:2; Mic 6:16; 2Ti 3:13)26Und er ging auf dem ganzen Weg Jerobeams, des Sohnes Nebats, und ⟨lebte⟩ in dessen Sünden, mit denen er Israel zur Sünde verführt hatte, den HERRN, den Gott Israels, durch ihre nichtigen Götzen[12] zum Zorn zu reizen. (1Ki 16:13)27Und die übrige Geschichte[13] Omris, was er getan und seine Machttaten, die er vollführt hat, ist das nicht geschrieben im Buch der Geschichte[14] der Könige von Israel? (1Ki 12:30; 1Ki 14:16; 1Ki 16:14)28Und Omri legte sich zu seinen Vätern und wurde in Samaria begraben. Und sein Sohn Ahab wurde an seiner Stelle König. (1Ki 16:6)
Ahab von Israel – Sein Götzendienst und Elias Gerichtsandrohung
29Und Ahab, der Sohn Omris, wurde König über Israel im 38. Jahr Asas, des Königs von Juda; und Ahab, der Sohn Omris, regierte über Israel in Samaria 22 Jahre.30Und Ahab, der Sohn Omris, tat, was böse war in den Augen des HERRN, mehr als alle, die vor ihm gewesen waren.31Und es geschah – war es zu wenig, dass er in den Sünden Jerobeams, des Sohnes Nebats, lebte[15]? –, dass er Isebel, die Tochter Etbaals, des Königs der Sidonier, zur Frau nahm. Und er ging hin und diente dem Baal und warf sich vor ihm nieder. (De 7:3; Jud 1:31; 2Ki 9:34; Ho 2:15; Re 2:20)32Und er errichtete dem Baal einen Altar im Haus des Baal, das er in Samaria gebaut hatte. (1Ki 18:18; 2Ki 3:2; 2Ki 10:18)33Auch machte Ahab die Aschera. Und Ahab fuhr fort, den HERRN, den Gott Israels, zum Zorn zu reizen, mehr als alle Könige von Israel, die vor ihm gewesen waren. (1Ki 16:25; 2Ki 13:6; 2Ch 21:13; 2Ch 33:6)34In seinen Tagen baute Hiël, der Betheliter, ⟨die Stadt⟩ Jericho ⟨wieder⟩ auf. Um ⟨den Preis von⟩ seinem Erstgeborenen, Abiram, legte er ihren Grund, und um ⟨den Preis von⟩ Segub, seinem Jüngsten, setzte er ihre Torflügel ein nach dem Wort des HERRN, das er durch Josua, den Sohn des Nun, geredet hatte. (Jos 6:26)
