1st Kings 16:4-17

⁴Dogs shall eat that man of Baasha, that shall be dead in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat that man of Baasha, that shall die in the field.

⁵Soothly the residue of the words of Baasha, and whatever things he did, and his battles, whether these be not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

⁶And so Baasha slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Tirzah; and Elah, his son, reigned for him.

⁷Forsooth when the word of the Lord was made in the hand of Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, and against his house, and against all the evil which he did before the Lord, to stir him to ire in the works of his hands, that he should be as the house of Jeroboam, for this cause he killed him.

⁸In the six and twentieth year of Asa, king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, reigned upon Israel, in Tirzah, two years.

⁹And Zimri, his servant, duke of the half part of his knights, rebelled against him; soothly Elah was in Tirzah, and drank and was drunken in the house of Arza, prefect of Tirzah.

¹⁰Therefore Zimri felled in, and smote Elah, and killed him, in the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Judah; and he reigned for him.

¹¹And when he had reigned, and sat upon his throne, he smote all the house of Baasha, and he left not thereof a pisser to the wall, and his kinsmen, and friends.

¹²And Zimri did away all the house of Baasha, by the word of the Lord, which he spake to Baasha, in the hand of Jehu, the prophet,

¹³for all the sins of Baasha, and for the sins of Elah, his son, which sinned, and made Israel to do sin, and wrathed the Lord God of Israel in their vanities.

¹⁴Soothly the residue of the words of Elah, and all things which he did, whether these be not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

¹⁵In the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah; forsooth the host of Israel besieged Gibbethon, the city of Philistines.

¹⁶And when it had heard, that Zimri had rebelled, and had slain the king, all Israel made Omri king to them, that was prince of the chivalry, on Israel, in that day, in their tents.

¹⁷Therefore Omri went up, and all Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and besieged Tirzah.
