I Kings 16

1Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasa, saying:
2 Chronicles 19:2, 2 Chronicles 20:34, 2 Chronicles 19:2, 2 Chronicles 20:34, 1 Kings 16:7
2For as much as I have 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 to anger with their sins:
1 Kings 15:34, 1 Kings 14:7, 1 Kings 15:34, 1 Kings 14:7, 1 Samuel 2:8
3Behold I will cut down the posterity of Baasa, and the posterity of his house, and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.
1 Kings 14:10, 1 Kings 14:10, 1 Kings 15:29, 1 Kings 15:30, Isaiah 66:24
4Him that dieth of Baasa, in the city, the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth of his in the country, the fowls of the air shall devour.
1 Kings 14:11, 1 Kings 14:11, 1 Kings 21:24, 1 Kings 21:24
5But the rest of the acts of Baasa, and all that he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings 15:31, 1 Kings 14:19, 1 Kings 15:31, 1 Kings 14:19, 2 Chronicles 16:1
6So Baasa slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thersa: and Ela, his son, reigned in his stead.
1 Kings 14:17, 1 Kings 14:17, 1 Kings 15:21, 1 Kings 15:21, 1 Kings 16:13
7And when the word of the Lord came in the hand of Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him; that is to say, Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet.
Psalms 115:4, 1 Kings 14:14, Hosea 1:4, Isaiah 2:8, Psalms 115:4
8In the six and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Ela, the son of Baasa, reigned over Israel, in Thersa, two years.
9And his servant Zambri, who was captain of half the horsemen, rebelled against him: now Ela was drinking in Thersa, and drunk in the house of Arsa, the governor of Thersa.
Daniel 5:1, Daniel 5:4, 1 Kings 18:3, Genesis 24:2, Genesis 39:4
10And Zambri rushing in, struck him, and slew him, in the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda and he reigned in his stead.
2 Kings 9:31, 2 Kings 9:31
11And when he was king, and sat upon his throne, he slew all the house of Baasa, and he left not one thereof to piss against a wall and all his kinsfolks and friends.
1 Samuel 25:22, 1 Kings 16:3, 1 Kings 15:29, 1 Samuel 25:22, 1 Kings 16:3
12And Zambri destroyed all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the Lord, that he had spoken to Baasa, in the hand of Jehu, the prophet,
1 Kings 16:1, 1 Kings 16:1, 1 Kings 16:3, Proverbs 26:6, 2 Chronicles 10:15
13For all the sins of Baasa, and the sins of Ela, his son, who sinned, and made Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, with their vanities.
Deuteronomy 32:21, Deuteronomy 32:21, 1 Kings 15:30, 1 Samuel 12:21, Isaiah 41:29
14But the rest of the acts of Ela, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
15In the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Zambri reigned seven days in Thersa: now the army was besieging Gebbethon, a city of the Philistines.
1 Kings 15:27, 1 Kings 15:27, Joshua 19:44, Joshua 19:44, 1 Kings 16:8
16And when they heard that Zambri had rebelled, and slain the king, all Israel made Amri their king, who was general over Israel in the camp that day.
1 Kings 16:30, 2 Kings 8:26, Micah 6:16, 2 Chronicles 22:2, 1 Kings 16:30
17And Amri went up, and all Israel with him, from Gebbethon, and they besieged Thersa.
2 Kings 18:9, 2 Kings 18:12, Judges 9:50, Luke 19:43, Luke 19:44
18And Zambri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, went into the palace, and burnt himself with the king's house: and he died
2 Samuel 17:23, 2 Samuel 17:23, 1 Samuel 31:4, 1 Samuel 31:5, 1 Samuel 31:4
19In his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
1 Kings 15:26, 1 Kings 15:26, 1 Kings 15:34, 1 Kings 12:28, 1 Kings 14:16
20But the rest of the acts of Zambri, and of his conspiracy and tyranny, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings 16:5, 1 Kings 16:14, 1 Kings 16:27, 1 Kings 16:5, 1 Kings 16:14
21Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: one half of the people followed Thebni, the son of Gineth, to make him king: and one half followed Amri.
Matthew 12:25, 1 Kings 16:8, 1 Kings 15:28, 1 Kings 15:25, Isaiah 19:2
22But the people that were with Amri, prevailed over the people that followed Thebni, the son of Gineth: and Thebni died, and Amri reigned.
23In the one and thirtieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years.
1 Kings 16:8, 1 Kings 15:21, 2 Chronicles 22:2, 1 Kings 16:29, 1 Kings 16:8
24And he bought the hill of Samaria of Semer, for two talents of silver: and he built upon it, and he called the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Semer, the owner of the hill.
1 Kings 13:32, 1 Kings 13:32, 2 Kings 17:24, 1 Kings 16:32, Acts 8:5
25And Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted wickedly above all that were before him.
Micah 6:16, Micah 6:16, 1 Kings 16:33, 1 Kings 14:9, 1 Kings 16:30
26And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
1 Kings 16:19, 1 Kings 16:19, 1 Kings 16:13, 1 Kings 16:13, Romans 1:21
27Now the rest of the acts of Amri, and the battles he fought, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings 16:5, 1 Kings 16:20, 1 Kings 15:31, 1 Kings 16:14, 1 Kings 16:5
28And Amri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Achab, his son, reigned in his stead.
29Now Achab, the son of Amri, reigned over Israel in the eight and thirtieth year of Asa, king of Juda. And Achab, the son of Amri, reigned over Israel in Samaria two and twenty years.
30And Achab, the son of Amri, did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.
1 Kings 16:25, 1 Kings 16:25, 1 Kings 14:9, 1 Kings 21:25, 1 Kings 14:9
31Nor was it enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat: but he also took to wife Jezabel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. And he went, and served Baal, and adored him.
2 Kings 17:16, 2 Kings 17:16, 2 Kings 10:18, 2 Kings 10:18, Judges 18:7
32And he set up an altar for Baal, in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria;
2 Kings 10:21, 2 Kings 10:21, 2 Kings 10:26, 2 Kings 10:27, 2 Kings 10:26
33And he planted a grove: and Achab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
2 Kings 13:6, 2 Kings 13:6, 1 Kings 21:25, 1 Kings 21:25, Exodus 34:13
34In his days Hiel, of Bethel, built Jericho: in Abiram, his firstborn, he laid its foundations: and in his youngest son, Segub, he set up the gates thereof: according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Josue, the son of Nun.
Joshua 6:26, Joshua 6:26, Joshua 23:14, Joshua 23:15, Matthew 24:35
