11:016:022 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people
that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri
reigned.
11:016:023 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri
to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in
Tirzah.
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.
