conspired against him, as he was in Tirtzah, drinking
himself drunk in the bayit of Arza, steward of his bayit in
Tirtzah.
10 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in
the twenty-seventh year of Asa melech of Yahudah, and
reigned in his place.
11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon
as he sat on his kesay, that he killed all the bayit of Ba-
Asha: he left him not one male, neither any of his
relatives, nor of his chaverim.
12 So Zimri destroyed all the bayit of Ba-Asha, according
to the word of vuvh, which he spoke against Ba-Asha by
Yahu the navi,
13 For all the sins of Ba-Asha, and the sins of Elah his
son, by which they sinned, and by which they made
Yisrael to sin, in provoking vuvh Elohim of Yisrael to
anger with their worthless deeds.
14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are
they not written in the Scroll of the Divre HaYamim
about the melechim of Yisrael?
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa melech of Yahudah
did Zimri reign seven days in Tirtzah. And the people
were encamped against Givethon, which belonged to the
Plishtim.
16 And the people that were encamped heard it said,
Zimri has conspired, and has also slain the melech:
therefore kol Yisrael made Omri, the captain of the army,
melech over Yisrael that day in the camp.
17 And Omri went up from Givethon, and kol Yisrael
with him, and they besieged Tirtzah.
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was
taken, that he went into the palace of the melech's bayit,
and burned the melech's bayit over him with fire, and
died,
19 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight
of vuvh, in walking in the halacha of Yahravam, and in
his sin which he did, to make Yisrael to sin.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that
he made, are they not written in the Scroll of the Divre
HaYamim of the melechim of Yisrael?
21 Then were the people of Yisrael divided into two
parts: half of the people followed Tivni the son of Ginath,
to make him melech; and half followed Omri.
22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against
the people that followed Tivni the son of Ginath: so Tivni
died, and Omri reigned.
23 In the thirty-first year of Asa melech of Yahudah
began Omri to reign over Yisrael, twelve years: six years
he reigned in Tirtzah.
24 And he bought the hill Shomron from Shemer for two
talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name
of the city that he built, after the name of Shemer, owner
of the hill, Shomron.
25 But Omri did evil in the eyes of vuvh, and did worse
than all that were before him.
26 For he had his halacha in all the halacha of Yahravam
the son of Nevat, and in his sin by which he made Yisrael
to sin, to provoke vuvh Elohim of Yisrael to anger with
their worthless deeds.
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri that he did, and his
might that he showed, are they not written in the Scroll of
the Divre HaYamim about the melechim of Yisrael?
28 So Omri slept with his ahvot, and was buried in

Shomron: and Achav his son reigned in his place.
29 And in the thirty-eighth year of Asa melech of
Yahudah began Achav the son of Omri to reign over
Yisrael: and Achav the son of Omri reigned over Yisrael
in Shomron twenty-two years.
30 And Achav the son of Omri did evil in the sight of
vuvh, above all that were before him.
31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a small thing for
him to have his halacha in the sins of Yahravam the son
of Nevat, that he took as his wife Isavel the daughter of
Etba’al melech of the Tzidonians, and went and served
Ba’al, 937 and worshipped him.
32 And he reared up an altar for Ba’al in the bayit of
Ba’al, which he had built in Shomron.
33 And Achav made a grove; and Achav did more to
provoke vuvh Elohim of Yisrael to anger than all the
melechim of Yisrael that were before him.
34 In his days did Hiel 938 the Bethelite rebuilt Yericho:
he laid the foundation of it with Aviram his bachor, and
set up the gates of it with his youngest son Seguv,
according to the word of vuvh, which He spoke by
Yahoshua the son of Nun.
17
And Eliyahu the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants
of Gilad, 939 said to Achav, As vuvh Elohim of Yisrael
lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain
these years, without my word.
2 And the word of vuvh came to him, saying,
3 Get away from here, and turn eastward, and hide
yourself by the brook Cherit, that flows into the River
Yarden.
4 And it shall be, that you shall drink of the brook; and I
have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
5 So he went and did according to the word of vuvh: for
he went and dwelt by the brook Cherit, that flows into the
River Yarden.
6 And the ravens brought him lechem and meat in the
morning, and lechem and meat in the evening; and he
drank from the brook.
7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried
up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 And the word of vuvh came to him, saying,
9 Arise, go to Tzaraphat, which belongs to Tzidon, and
dwell there: see, I have commanded a widow woman
there to sustain you.
10 So he arose and went to Tzaraphat. 940 And when he
came to the gate of the city, see, the widow woman was
there gathering sticks, 941 and he called to her, and said,
Get me, I ask you, a little mayim in a vessel, that I may
drink.
11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her, and
said, Bring me please, a morsel of lechem in your hand.
12 And she said, As vuvh your Elohim lives, I have not
lechem, except a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil
in a jar, and I am gathering two sticks, 942 that I may go in
and prepare it 943 for my son and me, so that we may eat
it, and then die.
13 And Eliyahu said to her, Fear not; go and do as you
have said: but make me a little lechem first, and bring it
to me, and after that make some for yourself and for your
son.
14 For this says vuvh Elohim of Yisrael, The bin of flour
shall not waste away, neither shall the jar of oil run dry,
