11:016:024 And 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.
11:016:025 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the
lord, and did worse
than
all that were before him.
11:016:026 For 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.
11:016:027 Now 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?
11:016:028 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was
buried in Samaria: and
Ahab
his son reigned in his stead.
11:016:029 And 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.
11:016:030 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the
sight of the lord
above
all that were before him.
11:016:031 And 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.
11:016:032 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the
house of Baal, which
he
had built in Samaria.
11:016:033 And 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.
11:016:034 In 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.
11:017:001 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the
inhabitants of Gilead,
said
unto Ahab, As the lord God of Israel liveth, before
whom
I
stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years,
but
according
to my word.
11:017:002 And the word of the lord came unto him, saying,
11:017:003 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward,
and hide thyself by
the
brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
11:017:004 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink
of the brook; and I
have
commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
11:017:005 So he went and did according unto the word
of the lord: for he
went
and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
