1 Kings 16
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasa, saying:
1Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ Ἰοὺ υἱοῦ Ἀνανὶ πρὸς Βαασά.
2'Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over My people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made My people Israel to sin, to provoke Me with their sins;
2Ἀνθʼ ὧν ὕψωσά σε ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἔδωκά σε ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθης ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ, καὶ ἐξήμαρτες τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ παροργίσαι με ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν,
3behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasa and his house; and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
3ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω ὀπίσω Βαασὰ, καὶ ὄπισθεν τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκόν σου ὡς τὸν οἶκον Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ.
4Him that dieth of Baasa in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.'
4Τὸν τεθνηκότα τοῦ Βαασὰ ἐν τῇ πόλει καταφάγονται αὐτὸν οἱ κύνες, καὶ τὸν τεθνηκότα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ καταφάγονται αὐτὸν τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
5Now the rest of the acts of Baasa, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
5Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Βαασὰ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησε, καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;
6And Baasa slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
6Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Βαασὰ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται ἐν Θερσᾷ, καὶ βασιλεύει Ἠλὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
7And moreover by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasa, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him.
7Καὶ ἐν χειρὶ Ἰοὺ υἱοῦ Ἀνανὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐπὶ Βαασὰ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, πᾶσαν τὴν κακίαν ἣν ἐποίησεν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου τοῦ παροργίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτου, τοῦ εἶναι κατὰ τὸν οἶκον Ἱεροβοὰμ, καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ πατάξαι αὐτόν.
8In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasa to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two years.
8Καὶ Ἠλὰ υἱὸς Βαασὰ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ δύο ἔτη ἐν Θερσᾷ.
9And 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;
9Καὶ συνέστρεψεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν Ζαμβρὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῆς ἡμίσους τῆς ἵππου, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἐν Θερσᾷ πίνων μεθύων ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ὠσᾶ τοῦ οἰκονόμου ἐν Θερσᾷ.
10and Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
10Καὶ εἰσῆλθε Σαμβρὶ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
11And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasa; he left him not a single man-child, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
11Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ καθίσαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον Βαασὰ,
12Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke against Baasa by Jehu the prophet,
12κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Βαασὰ, καὶ πρὸς Ἰοὺ τὸν προφήτην
13for all the sins of Baasa, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and wherewith they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, with their vanities.
13περὶ πασῶν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν Βαασὰ καὶ Ἠλὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ παροργίσαι Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν.
14Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
14Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἠλὰ ἃ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;
15In the twenty and 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.
15Καὶ Ζαμβρὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Θερσᾷ ἡμέρας ἑπτά· καὶ ἡ παρεμβολὴ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ Γαβαθὼν τὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
16And the people that were encamped heard say: 'Zimri hath conspired, and hath also smitten the king'; wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
16Καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, λεγόντων, συνεστράφη Ζαμβρὶ καὶ ἔπαισν τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ τὸν Ἀμβρὶ τὸν ἡγούμενον τῆς στρατιᾶς ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ.
17And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
17Καὶ ἀνέβη Ἀμβρὶ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ Γαβαθὼν, καὶ περιεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Θερσᾷ.
18And it came to pass, 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;
18Καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς εἶδε Ζαμβρὶ ὅτι προκατείληπται αὐτοῦ ἡ πόλις, καὶ πορεύεται εἰς ἄντρον τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐνεπύρισεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἀπέθανεν
19for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
19ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ ὧν ἐποίησε, τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου πορευθῆναι ἐν ὁδῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
20Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
20Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ζαμβρὶ καὶ τὰς συνάψεις αὐτοῦ ἃς συνῆψεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;
21Then 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.
21Τότε μερίζεται ὁ λαὸς Ἰσραήλ· ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ γίνεται ὀπίσω Θαμνὶ υἱοῦ Γωνὰθ τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν, καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ γίνεται ὀπίσω Ἀμβρί.
22But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
22Ὁ λαὸς ὁ ὢν ὀπίσω Ἀμβρὶ ὑπερεκράτησε τὸν λαὸν τὸν ὀπίσω Θαμνὶ υἱοῦ Γωνάθ· καὶ ἀπέθανε Θαμνὶ καὶ Ἰωρὰμ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀμβρὶ μετὰ Θαμνί.
23In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, and reigned twelve years; six years reigned he in Tirzah.
23Ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τριακοστῷ καὶ πρώτῳ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἀσὰ βασιλεύει Ἀμβρὶ ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ δώδεκα ἔτη· ἐν Θερσᾷ βασιλεύει ἓξ ἔτη.
24And 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.
24Καὶ ἐκτήσατο Ἀμβρὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σεμερὼν παρὰ Σεμὴρ τοῦ κυρίου τοῦ ὄρους ἐν δύο ταλάντων ἀργυρίου· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὸ ὄρος, καὶ ἐπεκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ὄρους οὗ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἐπὶε τῷ ὀνόματι Σεμὴρ τοῦ κυρίου τοῦ ὄρους, Σεμηρών.
25And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and dealt wickedly above all that were before him.
25Καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀμβρὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπονηρεύσατο ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς γενομένους ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
26For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, with their vanities.
26Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ αἷς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν.
27Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
27Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀμβρὶ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησε, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δυναστεία αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;
28And Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
28Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀμβρὶ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, καὶ βασιλεύει Ἀχαὰβ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Ἀμβρὶ βασιλεύει Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς Ἀσὰ ἐτῶν τριάκοντα καὶ πέντε ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰκοσιπέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοὐ Γαζουβὰ, θυγάτηρ Σελί· καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Ἀσὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπʼ αὐτῆς τοῦ ποιεῖν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· πλὴν τῶν ὑψηλῶν οὐκ ἐξῇραν· ἔθυον ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς, καὶ ἐθυμίων· καὶ ἃ συνέθετο Ἰωσαφὰτ μετὰ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δυναστεία ἣν ἐποίησε, καὶ οὓς ἐπολέμησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰούδα; καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν συμπλοκῶν ἃς ἐπέθεντο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἀσὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐξῇρεν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς· καὶ βασιλεὺς οὐκ ἦν ἐν Συρίᾳ· Νασίβ. Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐποίησε ναῦν εἰς Θαρσὶς πορεύεσθαι εἰς Σωφὶρ ἐπὶ τὸ χρυσίον· καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη, ὅτι συνετρίβη ἡ ναῦς ἐν Γασιὼν Γαβέρ· τότε εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ, ἐξαποστελῶ τοὺς παῖδάς σου καὶ τὰ παιδάριά μου ἐν τῇ νηΐ· καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο Ἰωσαφάτ· καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωσαφὰτ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
29And 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.
29Ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ τοῦ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, Ἀχαὰβ υἱὸς Ἀμβρὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἔτη.
30And Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
30Καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀχαὰβ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπονηρεύσατο ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
31And 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.
31Καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ ἱκανὸν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ, καὶ ἔλαβε γυναῖκα τὴν Ἰεζάβελ θυγατέρα Ἰεθεβαὰλ βασιλέως Σιδωνίων· καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐδούλευσε τῷ Βάαλ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ.
32And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
32Καὶ ἔστησε θυσιαστήριον τῷ Βάαλ ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν προσοχθισμάτων αὐτοῦ, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.
33And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
33Καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀχαὰβ ἄλσος· καὶ προσέθηκεν Ἀχαὰβ τοῦ ποιῆσαι παροργίσματα, τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐξολοθρευθῆναι, ἐκακοποίησεν ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς Ἰσραὴλ τοὺς γενομένους ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
34In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho; with Abiram his first-born he laid the foundation thereof, and with his youngest son Segub he set up the gates thereof; according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of Joshua the son of Nun.
34Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ᾠκοδόμησεν Ἀχιὴλ ὁ Βαιθηλίτης τὴν Ἱεριχώ· ἐν τῷ Ἀβιρὼν πρωτοτόκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν, καὶ τῷ Σεγοὺβ τῷ νεωτέρῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπέστησε θύρας αὐτῆς, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἰησοῦ υἱοῦ Ναυῆ.
