1   And the word of our Lord came to Iehu the sonne of Hanani agaynst Baasa, saying:

2   For so much as I haue exalted thee out of the dust, & sette thee duke ouer my people Israel, but thou hast walked in the way of Ieroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sinne, that thou mightest anger me with their sinnes:

3   behold, I wil cut downe the posteritie of Baasa, and the posteritie of his house, and I wil make thy house as the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat.

4   Whosoeuer of Baasa shal die in the citie, him shal the dogges eate: and whosoeuer of his shal die in the countrie, him shal the fowles of the ayre deuoure.

5   But the rest of the wordes of Baasa, and whatsoeuer he did, and his battels, are not these things written in the Booke of the wordes of the daies of the kinges of Israel?

6   Baasa therfore slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thersa: and Ela his sonne reigned for him.

7   And when the word of our Lord came in the hand of Iehu the sonne of Hanani the prophete agaynst Baasa, and agaynst his house, and agaynst al the euil, that he had done before our Lord, to anger him in the workes of his handes, that it should be made as the house of Ieroboam: for this cause he slew him, that is to say, Iehu the sonne of Hanani, the prophete.

8   In the sixe and twenteth yeare of Asa the king of Iuda, reigned Ela the sonne of Baasa ouer Israel in Thersa two yeares.

9   And his seruant Zambri rebelled agaynst him, the captayne of the

-- --

Of Israel Zambri. Amri. halfe part of the horsemen: and Ela was in Thersa drinking, and dronken in the house of Arsa the gouernour of Thersa.

10   Zambri therfore rushing in, stroke and slew him in the seuen and twenteth yeare of Asa the king of Iuda, & he reigned for him.

11   And when he reigned, and sate vpon his throne, he stroke al the house of Baasa, and he leaft not of it one that could pysse agaynst a wal, & his kinsfolke and frendes.

12   And Zambri destroyed al the house of Baasa, according to the word of our Lord, that he had spoken to Baasa in the hand of Iehu the prophet,

13   for al the sinnes of Baasa, and the sinnes of Ela his sonne, who sinned, and made Israel to sinne, prouoking our Lord the God of Israel in their vanities.

14   But the rest of the wordes of Ela, and al that he did, are not these writen in the Booke of the wordes of the daies of the kinges of Israel?

15   In the seuen and twenteth yeare of Asa the king of Iuda, reigned Zambri seuen daies in Thersa: moreouer the armie besieged Gebbethon a citie of the Philisthines.

16   And when they heard that Zambri had rebelled, and slayne the king, note al Israel made Amri their king, who was General of the warfare ouer Israel that day, in the campe.

17   Amri therfore went vp, and al Israel with him from Gebbethon, and they besieged Thersa.

18   And Zambri seing that the citie should be taken, he went into the palace, and burnt him self with the kinges house: and he died

19   in his sinnes, which he had sinned doing euil before our Lord, and walking in the way of Ieroboam, and in his sinne; wherwith he made Israel to sinne.

20   But the rest of the wordes of Zambri, and of his treason, and tyrannie, are not these thinges writen in the Booke of the wordes of the dayes of the kinges of Israel?

21   Then was the people of Israel diuided into two partes: the halfe part of the people folowed Thebni the sonne of Gineth, to make him king: and the halfe part Amri.

22   But the people that was with Amri, preuayled ouer the people that folowed Thebni the sonne of Gineth: and Thebni died, and Amri reigned.

23   In note the one and thirteth yeare of Asa the king of Iuda Amri reigned ouer Israel, twelue yeares: in Thersa he reigned six yeares.

24   And he bought the mount of Samaria of Somer for two talentes of siluer: and he built it, and he called the citie which he had built, by the name of Semer the lord of the mount of Samaria.

25   And Amri did euil in the sight of our Lord, and wrought wickedly aboue al, that were

-- --

Of Israel Achab. before him.

26   And he walked in al the way of Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat, and in his sinnes wherwith he made Israel to sinne: that they might anger our Lord the God of Israel in their vanities.

27   But the rest of the wordes of Amri, and the battels he made, are not these thinges writen in the Booke, of the battels that he made are not these thinges written in the Booke of the wordes of the daies of the kinges of Israel?

28   And Amri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria and Achab his sonne reigned for him.

29   But Achab the sonne of Amri reigned ouer Israel the eight and thirteth yeare of Asa the king of Iuda. And Achab the sonne of Amri reigned ouer Israel in Samiaria two and twentie yeares.

30   And Achab the sonne of Amri did euil in the sight of our Lord aboue al, that were before him.

31   Neither did it suffice him that he walked in the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat: besides he tooke to wife Iezabel the daughter of Ethbaul the king of the Sidonians. And he went, and serued Baal, and adored him.

32   And he sette an altar to Baal in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria,

33   and he planted a groue: and Achab added in his worke, prouoking our Lord the God of Israel aboue al the kinges of Israel, that were before him.

34   In his daies Hiel of Bethel built Iericho: note in Abiram his first borne he founded it, and in Segub his last he sette vp the gates therof: according to the word of our Lord, which he spake in the hand of Iosue the sonne of Nun.
