In the twenty-sixth year that Asa was king of Judah ,
Elah ,
the son of Baasha ,
became king of Israel in Tirzah ,
and he was king for two years .

And his servant Zimri ,
captain of half his war-carriages ,
made secret designs against him :
now he was in Tirzah ,
drinking hard in the house of Arza ,
controller of the king '
s house in Tirzah .

And Zimri went in and made an attack on him and put him to death ,
in the twenty-seventh year that Asa was king of Judah ,
and made himself king in his place .

And straight away when he became king and took his place on the seat of the kingdom ,
he put to death all the family of Baasha :
not one male child of his relations or his friends kept his life .

So Zimri put to death all the family of Baasha ,
so that the word which the Lord said against him by the mouth of Jehu the prophet came about ;

1Kings:16:13 @
Because of all the sins of Baasha ,
and the sins of Elah his son ,
which they did and made Israel do ,
moving the Lord ,
the God of Israel ,
to wrath by their foolish acts .

1Kings:16:14 @
Now the rest of the acts of Elah ,
and all he did ,
are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel ?
