Ἀνθ’ ὧν ὕψωςά σε ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἔδωκά σε ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν
λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθης ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Ἰεροβοὰμ καὶ ἐξήματρες τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ παροργίσαι με ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν,

ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω ὀπίσω Βααςὰ καὶ ὄπισθεν τοῦ οἴσου αὐτοῦ, καὶ
δώσω τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ὡς τὸν οἶκον Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάθ.

τὸν
τεθνηκότα τοῦ Βααςὰ ἐν τῇ πόλει, καταφάγονται αὐτὸν οἱ κύνες, καὶ τὸν τεθνηκότα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, καταφάγονται αὐτὸν τὰ ¹²
πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Βααςὰ καὶ πάντα ³ ἅ ἐποίησεν καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἰκοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν
βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη βααςὰ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται ἐν Θερσά· καὶ βασι- λεύει Ἠλαὰν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ εἰκοστῷ ἔτει βασελέως
Ἀσά.

καὶ ἐν χειρὶ Εἰοὺ Ἁνανεὶ ἐλάλησεν Κύριος ἐπὶ Βααςὰ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ πᾶσαν τὴν κακίαν ἥν ἐποίησεν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου τοῦ παρορυίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ εἶναι κατὰ τὸν οἶκον Ἰεροβοὰμ καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ πατάξαι αὐτόν.

Καὶ Ἠλὰ υἱὸς Βααςὰ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ δύο ἔτη ἐν θερσά.

καὶ συνέστρεψεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν Ζαμβρεὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῆς ἡμίσους τῆς ἵππου, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἐν Θερςὰ πίνων μεθύων ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ὠσά, τοῦ οἰκονόμου
ἐν Θερσά.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ζαμβρεὶ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν
αὐτόν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ καθίσαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ε’πάταξεν ὅλον
τὸν οἶκου Βαασά,

κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα ὅ ἐλάλησεν Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον
βααςὰ καὶ πρὸς Εἰοὺ τὸν προφήτην

περὶ παςῶν ἁμαρτιῶν βααςὰ καὶ Ἠλὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ παροργίσαι
Κύριον τὸν θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἠλὰ ἅ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰκοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;

Καὶ Ζαμβρεὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐν Θερσά· καὶ ἡ παρεμβολὴ
Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ Γαβαὼν τὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.

καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ λεγόντων Συνεστράφη Ζαμβρεὶ καὶ ἔπαισεν τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐν Ἰ σραὴλ τὸν Ζαμβρεὶ τὸν ἡγούμενον
τῆς στρατείας ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ.

καὶ ⁴⁵ ἀνέβη Ζαθβερὶ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν Γαβαθὼν καὶ περιεκάισαν ἐπὶ θερσό.

καὶ ἐγεήθη ὡς εἶδεν ζαμβεὶ ὅτι προκατείλημπται
αὐτοῦ ἡ πόλις, καὶ πορεύονται εἰς ἄντρον τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως. καὶ ἐνεπύρισεν ὁ βασιλεῦς ἐπ’ αὐτὸ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλώς, καὶ ἀπέθανεν·

ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀμαρτιὼν αὐτοῦ ὦν ἐποίησεν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ
πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, πορευθῆναι ἐν ὁδῷ Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαβτίαις αὐτοῦ, ὠς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν
λόγων ζαμβρεὶ καὶ τὰς συνάψεις αὐτοῦ ἃς συνῆψεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;

τότε μερίζεται ὁ λαός Ἰσραήλ· ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ γίνεται ὀπίσω
θαμνεὶ υἱοῦ Γωνὰθ τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν. καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ γίνεται ὀπίσω Ζαμβρεί.

καὶ ἡττήθη ὁ λαὸς ὁ ὣν ὀπίσω θαμνεὶ
υίοῦ Γωνάθ· καὶ ἀπέθανεν θαμνεὶ καὶ Ἰωρὰμ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, καὶ έβασίλευσεν Ζαμβρεὶ μετὰ θαμνεί.

ἐν
τῷ ἐτει τῷ τριακοστῷ καὶ πρώτῳ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἀσὰ βασιλεύει Ζαμβρεὶ ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ δώδεκα ἔτη· ἐν θερςὰ βασιλεύει ἔξ ἐτη.

καὶ ἐκτήσατο Ζαμβρεὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σεμερὼν παρὰ Σέμηρ τοῦ
κυρίου τοῦ ὄρους ἐν δύο ταλάντων ἀργυρίου, καὶ ῲκοδόμησεν τὸ ὄρος· καὶ ἐπεκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ὄρους οὖ ῲκοδόμησαν ἐπὶ τῷ ὁνόματι Σάρηρ τοῦ κυρίου τοῦ ὄρους Σαεμηρών.

καὶ ἐποίησεν
Σαμβρεὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· ἐπονηρεύσατο ὑπὲρ παάντας τοὺς γευομένους ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάςῃ ὀδῷ
Ἰεροβοὰμ υίοῦ Ναβὰτ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ αἶς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ παροργίσαι ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν.

καὶ τὰ
λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ζαμβρεὶ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν καὶ ἡ δδυναστεία αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ζαμβρεὶ τῶν πατέρων
⁶⁷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Θάπτεται ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ· καὶ βασιλεύει Ἀχαὰβ οἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.

Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Ζαμβρεὶ βασλεύει Ἰωσαφὰθ υἱὸς Ἁσά· βασιλεύει ἐτῶν τριάκοντα καὶ πέντε ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἴκοσι πέντε ἔτη βασιλεύει ἐν Ἰερουσλήμ· καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Γαβουζά, θυγάτηρ Σελεεί.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Ἀσὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπ’ αὐτῆς τοῦ ποιεῖν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· πλὴν τῶν ὑψηλῶν οὐκ ἐξῆραν, ἔθυον ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς καὶ ἐθυμίων.

καὶ ἃ συνέθετο Ἰωσαφάθ, καὶ πᾶσα δυναστεία ἣν ἐποίησεν, καὶ οὓς ἐπολέμησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἠμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰούδα;

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν συμπλοκῶν ἃς ἐπέθεντο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἀσὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐξῆρεν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.

καὶ βασιλεὺς οὐκ ἦν ἐν Συρίᾳ· νασεὶβ ὁ βασιλεύς.

ἐποίησεν ναῦν εἰς θαρσεὶς πορεύεσθαι εἰς Σωφείρ, πορεύσθαι ἐπὶ τὸ χρυσίον· καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη, ὅτι συνετρίβη ἡ ναῦς ἐν Γασιὼν Γάβερ.

τότε εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφάθ Ἐξαποστελῶ τοὺς παῖδάς σου καὶ τὰ παιδάριά μου ἐν τῇ νηή· καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο Ἰωσαφάθ.

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωσαφὰθ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυείδ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.

Ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ τῷ Ἰωσαφὰθ βασιλεύει Ἀχαὰβ υἱὸς Ζαμβρεί·
ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἔτη.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀχαὰβ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· ἐπονηρεύσατο ὑπὲρ
πάντας τοὺς ἔμπροςθεν αὐτοῦ.

καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ ἱκανὸν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Nαβάτ, καὶ ἔλαβεν γυναῖκα τὴν Ἰεζάβελ θυγατέρα Ἰεθεβάαλ βασιλέως Σιδωνίων, καὶ
ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐδούλευσεν τῷ Βάαλ καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ.

καὶ ἔστησεν θυσιαστήριον τῷ Βάαλ ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν προσοχθισμάτων ἀυτοῦ
ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀχαὰβ ἄλσος· καὶ προσέθηκεν Ἀχαὰβ τοῦ ποιῆσαι παροργίσματα τοῦ παροργίσαι τὴν ⁸⁹ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἐξολοθρευθῆναι· ἐκακοποίησεν ἡπὲρ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς Ἰσραὴλ τοὺς γενομένους ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.

Ὠκοδόμησεν
Ἀχειὴλ ὁ Βαιθηλείτης τὴν Ἰερειχώ· ἐν τῷ Ἀβειρὼν τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτήν, καὶ τῷ Ζεγοὺβ τῷ νεωτέρῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπέστησεν θύρας αὐτῆς, κατὰ τὸ ῤῆμα Κυτίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἰησοῦ υἱοῦ Ναυή.

The word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

Because I exalted you out of the dust, and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

Him who dies of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him who dies of his in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.

Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.

Moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of Yahweh against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] two years.

His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah:

and Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

It happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck all the house of Baasha: he didn’t leave him a single man-child, neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.

Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

The people who were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king: therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.

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

It happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died,

for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.

Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.

But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, [and reigned] twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.

He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.

For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shown, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.

In the thirty-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-two years.

Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh above all that were before him.

It happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

He reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation of it with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates of it with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
