Kings III 16:4-17

⁴Him that dies of Baasa in the city the dogs shall devour, and him that dies of his in the field the birds of the sky shall devour.

⁵Now the rest of the history of Baasa, and all that he did, and his mighty acts, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁶And Baasa slept with his fathers, and they bury him in Thersa; and Ela his son reigns in his stead.

⁷And the Lord spoke by Ju the son of Anani against Baasa, and against his house, even all the evil which he wrought before the Lord to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he struck him.

⁸And Ela son of Baasa reigned over Israel two years in Thersa.

⁹And Zambri, captain of half his cavalry, conspired against him, while he was in Thersa, drinking himself drunk in the house of Osa the steward at Thersa.

¹⁰And Zambri went in and struck him and killed him, and reigned in his stead.

¹¹And it came to pass when he reigned, when he sat upon his throne,

¹²that he struck all the house of Baasa, according to the word which the Lord spoke against the house of Baasa, and to Ju the prophet,

¹³for all the sins of Baasa and Ela his son, as he led Israel astray to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel with their vanities.

¹⁴And the rest of the deeds of Ela which he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁵And Zambri reigned in Thersa seven days: and the army of Israel was encamped against Gabathon of the Philistines.

¹⁶And the people heard in the army, saying, Zambri has conspired and struck the king: and the people of Israel made Ambri the captain of the host king in that day in the camp over Israel.

¹⁷And Ambri went up, and all Israel with him, out of Gabathon; and they besieged Thersa.
