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

In the

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.

But
Omri wrought evil in the
eyes of the
LORD, and did
worse than all that were
before him.

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.

Now the

acts of
Omri which he
did, and his
might that he
shewed, are they not
written in the

chronicles of the
kings of
Israel?

So

And in the

Ahab the

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.
