mkjv@1Kings:16:1 @ And the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

mkjv@1Kings:16:2 @ Since I exalted you out of the dust, and made you ruler over My people Israel, and since you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made My people Israel to sin, to provoke Me to anger with their sins,

mkjv@1Kings:16:3 @ behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house. And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

mkjv@1Kings:16:4 @ Those of Baasha who die in the city shall the dogs eat. And those of his who die in the fields, the birds of the air shall eat.

mkjv@1Kings:16:5 @ And the rest of the acts of Baasha and what he did, and his might, [are] they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel?

mkjv@1Kings:16:6 @ And Baasha lay with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah. And Elah his son reigned in his place.

mkjv@1Kings:16:7 @ And 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.

mkjv@1Kings:16:8 @ In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and he reigned two years.

mkjv@1Kings:16:9 @ And his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, plotted against him; and he [was] in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza the steward of [his] house in Tirzah.

mkjv@1Kings:16:10 @ And Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

mkjv@1Kings:16:11 @ And it happened when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he killed all the house of Baasha. He did not leave him one who urinated against a wall, nor of his kinsmen, nor of his friends.

mkjv@1Kings:16:12 @ And Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

mkjv@1Kings:16:13 @ for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned and that they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

mkjv@1Kings:16:14 @ And the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel?

mkjv@1Kings:16:15 @ In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. And the people [were] camped against Gibbethon which [was] to the Philistines.

mkjv@1Kings:16:16 @ And the people [that were] camped heard it said that Zimri had plotted and had also slain the king. And all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

mkjv@1Kings:16:17 @ And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they laid siege to Tirzah.

mkjv@1Kings:16:18 @ And it happened when Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the palace of the king's house and burned the king's house over him with fire, and died,

mkjv@1Kings:16:19 @ for 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 sin.

mkjv@1Kings:16:20 @ And the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason which he did, [are] they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel?

mkjv@1Kings:16:21 @ And the people of Israel were divided into two parts. Half the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king. And half followed Omri.

mkjv@1Kings:16:22 @ But the people who followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. And Tibni died and Omri reigned.

mkjv@1Kings:16:23 @ In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel. He reigned twelve years, six years in Tirzah.

mkjv@1Kings:16:24 @ 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, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

mkjv@1Kings:16:25 @ And Omri did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all who [were] before him.

mkjv@1Kings:16:26 @ For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

mkjv@1Kings:16:27 @ And 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 Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel?

mkjv@1Kings:16:28 @ And Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria. And Ahab his son reigned in his place.

mkjv@1Kings:16:29 @ And in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel. And Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

mkjv@1Kings:16:30 @ And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all who [were] before him.

mkjv@1Kings:16:31 @ And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he also took Jezebel, the daughter of Eth-baal king of the Sidonians, for a wife. And he went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

mkjv@1Kings:16:32 @ And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

mkjv@1Kings:16:33 @ And Ahab made an Asherah. And Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

mkjv@1Kings:16:34 @ In his days Hiel the man of Bethel built Jericho. He laid the foundation of it in Abiram his first-born, and set up the gates of it in his youngest [son] Segub, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.

mkjv@1Kings:17:1 @ And Elijah the Tishbite, of the sojourners of Gilead, said to Ahab, [As] the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except according to my word.

mkjv@1Kings:17:2 @ And the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

mkjv@1Kings:17:3 @ Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, before Jordan.

mkjv@1Kings:17:4 @ And it shall be, you shall drink of the brook. And I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.

mkjv@1Kings:17:5 @ So he went and did according to the word of the LORD. For he went and lived by the torrent Cherith, before Jordan.

mkjv@1Kings:17:6 @ And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.

mkjv@1Kings:17:7 @ And it happened after a while, the torrent dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

mkjv@1Kings:17:8 @ And the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

mkjv@1Kings:17:9 @ Arise, go to Zarephath which [belongs] to Sidon, and live there. Behold, I have commanded a widow to keep you there.

mkjv@1Kings:17:10 @ And he arose and went to Zarephath, and came in to the entrance of the city, and, behold, the widow was gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, Please, bring me a little water in a vessel so that I may drink.

mkjv@1Kings:17:11 @ And as she was going to bring [it], he called to her and said, Please, bring me a piece of bread in your hand.

mkjv@1Kings:17:12 @ And she said, [As] the LORD your God lives, I do not have a cake, but only a handful of meal in a pitcher and a little oil in a jar. And behold, I [am] gathering two sticks, so that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, so that we may eat it and die.

mkjv@1Kings:17:13 @ And Elijah said to her, Do not fear, go. Do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it, and bring [it] to me. And then make for you and for your son.

mkjv@1Kings:17:14 @ For so says the LORD God of Israel, The pitcher of meal shall not be emptied, nor shall the jar of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the earth.

mkjv@1Kings:17:15 @ And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she and he and her house ate [many] days;

mkjv@1Kings:17:16 @ the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the jar of oil did not fail, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by Elijah.

mkjv@1Kings:17:17 @ And it happened after these things the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick. And his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

mkjv@1Kings:17:18 @ And she said to Elijah, What do I have to do with you, O man of God? Have you come to me to call my sin to remembrance and to kill my son?

mkjv@1Kings:17:19 @ And he said to her, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom and carried him up into a loft, where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.

mkjv@1Kings:17:20 @ And he cried to the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, have You also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by slaying her son?

mkjv@1Kings:17:21 @ And he stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, please let this child's soul come to him again.

mkjv@1Kings:17:22 @ And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived.

mkjv@1Kings:17:23 @ And Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, See! Your son lives!

mkjv@1Kings:17:24 @ And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know this, that you [are] a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth [is] truth.

mkjv@1Kings:18:1 @ And it happened [after] many days the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab. And I will send rain on the earth.
