1Yo, the Lord hit up Jehu, son of Hanani, with a message for Baasha, no cap.

2I pulled you from the dust and made you a prince over my peeps, Israel; but you went full savage, following Jeroboam and making my crew sin, making me mad with their vibes.

3Check it, I'm gonna wipe out Baasha's fam and make your house look like Jeroboam's, fr.

4Anyone who dies from Baasha in the city? Dogs gonna snack on them; out in the fields? The birds got that covered.

5So, what else Baasha did and all his power, ain't that all in the kings' chronicles?

6Baasha took a nap with his ancestors and got buried in Tirzah. Then his son Elah popped off and took over.

7The prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, also got the word from the Lord about Baasha and his squad, for all the sus stuff he did that made the Lord mad, being like Jeroboam and taking him out.

8In the 26th year of Asa, king of Judah, Elah, Baasha's son, started his reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years, no cap.

9His homie Zimri, captain of half his chariots, plotted against him while he was in Tirzah, getting lit at Arza's crib.

10Zimri rolled in, took him out, and in the 27th year of Asa, king of Judah, he took over, periodt.

11So when he started his reign and plopped down on the throne, he straight-up took out the whole fam of Baasha—no one left, not even the homies.

12Zimri went full savage and wiped out Baasha's crew, just like the Lord told Jehu the prophet to say.

13All the sus stuff Baasha did, plus his son Elah, made Israel act up and got God mad with their nonsense.

14For real, all the other stuff Elah did is totally written down in the kings’ chronicles, no cap.

15In the 27th year of Asa, king of Judah, Zimri ruled for just seven days in Tirzah while the squad was chillin' against Gibbethon, which was Philistine territory.

16The camp heard that Zimri was plotting and took out the king, so all of Israel crowned Omri, the homie in charge, as king that day.

17Omri and the whole crew rolled out from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirzah.

18When Zimri saw the city was done for, he dipped into the palace and set it on fire, going out like a champ.

19He messed up big time, doing wrong in God's eyes, following Jeroboam’s bad vibes, and made Israel trip up.

20All the other wild things Zimri did and his betrayal are also written in the kings’ chronicles, periodt.

21The Israelites were split into two squads: half were vibin' with Tibni, son of Ginath, to make him king; the other half was all about Omri.

22But the Omri crew totally clapped back at Tibni's squad: so Tibni was out, and Omri took the throne.

23In Asa's thirty-first year as king of Judah, Omri started his reign over Israel for twelve years, with six of those in Tirzah.

24He copped the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver, built up the spot, and named the city after Shemer, the hill's owner, calling it Samaria.

25But Omri was low-key sus in the eyes of the Lord, doing worse than anyone before him.

26He walked the same path as Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and his sins made Israel go off, provoking the Lord God of Israel with their drama.

27So, like, are the rest of Omri's moves and the power he flexed not written in the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

28Omri passed away and was laid to rest in Samaria, and his son Ahab took over the throne.

29In Asa's thirty-eighth year, Ahab, son of Omri, started ruling over Israel, repping Samaria for twenty-two years.

30Ahab, son of Omri, was hella evil in the Lord's sight, even more than everyone before him.

31So, Ahab was like, "Walking in Jeroboam's sins? Light work." He scooped up Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and started vibing with Baal, worshipping him fr.

32He built an altar for Baal in his crib, which was all decked out in Samaria.

33Ahab went all out, making a grove and lowkey making God madder than any other king of Israel before him, no cap.

34During his time, Hiel the Beth–elite was like, "Let’s build Jericho." He laid the foundation and, sadly, lost his firstborn Abiram, then set up the gates with his youngest son Segub, just like God told Joshua.

1Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

2Forasmuch 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 to anger with their sins;

3Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

4Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.

5Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

6So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.

7And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the Lord against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.

8In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.

9And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.

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.

11And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.

12Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

13For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

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?

15In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

16And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.

17And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

18And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died,

19For his sins which he sinned in doing 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.

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?

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.

22But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

23In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.

24And 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.

25But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him.

26For 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.

27Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

28So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

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.

30And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.

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.

32And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

33And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

34In his days did Hiel the Beth–elite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
