1 Kings 16

1 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ Ἰοὺ υἱοῦ Ἀνανὶ πρὸς Βαασά.

2 Ἀνθʼ 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,

3 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω ὀπίσω Βαασὰ, καὶ ὄπισθεν τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκόν σου ὡς τὸν οἶκον Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ.

4 Τὸν τεθνηκότα τοῦ Βαασὰ ἐν τῇ πόλει καταφάγονται αὐτὸν οἱ κύνες, καὶ τὸν τεθνηκότα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ καταφάγονται αὐτὸν τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

5 Καὶ 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;

6 Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Βαασὰ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται ἐν Θερσᾷ, καὶ βασιλεύει Ἠλὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

7 Καὶ 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.

8 Καὶ Ἠλὰ υἱὸς Βαασὰ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ δύο ἔτη ἐν Θερσᾷ.

9 Καὶ 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.

10 Καὶ εἰσῆλθε Σαμβρὶ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

11 Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ καθίσαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον Βαασὰ,

12 κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Βαασὰ, καὶ πρὸς Ἰοὺ τὸν προφήτην

13 περὶ πασῶν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν Βαασὰ καὶ Ἠλὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ παροργίσαι Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν.

14 Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἠλὰ ἃ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;

15 Καὶ Ζαμβρὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Θερσᾷ ἡμέρας ἑπτά· καὶ ἡ παρεμβολὴ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ Γαβαθὼν τὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.

16 Καὶ 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.

17 Καὶ ἀνέβη Ἀμβρὶ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ Γαβαθὼν, καὶ περιεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Θερσᾷ.

18 Καὶ 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

19 ὑπὲρ 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.

20 Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ζαμβρὶ καὶ τὰς συνάψεις αὐτοῦ ἃς συνῆψεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;

21 Τότε μερίζεται ὁ λαὸς Ἰσραήλ· ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ γίνεται ὀπίσω Θαμνὶ υἱοῦ Γωνὰθ τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν, καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ γίνεται ὀπίσω Ἀμβρί.

22 Ὁ 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.

23 Ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τριακοστῷ καὶ πρώτῳ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἀσὰ βασιλεύει Ἀμβρὶ ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ δώδεκα ἔτη· ἐν Θερσᾷ βασιλεύει ἓξ ἔτη.

24 Καὶ 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.

25 Καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀμβρὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπονηρεύσατο ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς γενομένους ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.

26 Καὶ 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.

27 Καὶ 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;

28 Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀμβρὶ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, καὶ βασιλεύει Ἀχαὰβ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

28a 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·

28b 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·

28c 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;

28d καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν συμπλοκῶν ἃς ἐπέθεντο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἀσὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐξῇρεν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς·

28e καὶ βασιλεὺς οὐκ ἦν ἐν Συρίᾳ· Νασίβ.

28f Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐποίησε ναῦν εἰς Θαρσὶς πορεύεσθαι εἰς Σωφὶρ ἐπὶ τὸ χρυσίον· καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη, ὅτι συνετρίβη ἡ ναῦς ἐν Γασιὼν Γαβέρ·

28g τότε εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ, ἐξαποστελῶ τοὺς παῖδάς σου καὶ τὰ παιδάριά μου ἐν τῇ νηΐ· καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο Ἰωσαφάτ·

28h καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωσαφὰτ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

29 Ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ τοῦ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, Ἀχαὰβ υἱὸς Ἀμβρὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἔτη.

30 Καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀχαὰβ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπονηρεύσατο ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.

31 Καὶ 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.

32 Καὶ ἔστησε θυσιαστήριον τῷ Βάαλ ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν προσοχθισμάτων αὐτοῦ, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.

33 Καὶ 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.

34 Καὶ 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.

1 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Ju son of Anani to Baasa, saying ,

2 Forasmuch as I lifted thee up from the earth, and made thee ruler over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast caused my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their vanities;

3 Behold, I raise up enemies after Baasa, and after his house; and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nabat.

5 Now the rest of the history of Baasa, and all that he did, and his mighty acts, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

6 And Baasa slept with his fathers, and they bury him in Thersa; and Ela his son reigns in his stead.

7 And the Lord spoke by Ju the son of Anani against Baasa, and against his house, even all the evil which he wrought before the Lord to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he smote him.

9 And Zambri, captain of half his cavalry, conspired against him, while he was in Thersa, drinking himself drunk in the house of Osa the steward at Thersa.

10 And Zambri went in and smote him and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

11 And it came to pass when he reigned, when he sat upon his throne,

12 that he smote all the house of Baasa, according to the word which the Lord spoke against the house of Baasa, and to Ju the prophet,

13 for all the sins of Baasa and Ela his son, as he led Israel astray to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel with their vanities.

14 And the rest of the deeds of Ela which he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

15 And Zambri reigned in Thersa seven days: and the army of Israel was encamped against Gabathon of the Philistines.

16 And the people heard in the army, saying, Zambri has conspired and smitten the king: and the people of Israel made Ambri the captain of the host king in that day in the camp over Israel.

17 And Ambri went up, and all Israel with him, out of Gabathon; and they besieged Thersa.

19 Because of his sins which he committed, doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, so as to walk in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.

20 And the rest of the history of Zambri, and his conspiracies wherein he conspired, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

21 Then the people of Israel divides; half the people goes after Thamni the son of Gonath to make him king; and half the people goes after Ambri.

22 The people that followed Ambri overpowered the people that followed Thamni son of Gonath: and Thamni died and Joram his brother at that time, and Ambri reigned after Thamni.

24 And Ambri bought the mount Semeron of Semer the lord of the mountain for two talents of silver; and he built upon the mountain, and they called the name of the mountain on which he built, after the name of Semer the lord of the mount, Semeron.

25 And Ambri did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and wrought wickedly beyond all that were before him.

26 And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherewith he caused Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel by their vanities.

27 And the rest of the acts of Ambri, and all that he did, and all his might, behold, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

28 And Ambri slept with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria; and Achaab his son reigns in his stead.

28b And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not from it, even from doing right in the eyes of the Lord: only they removed not any of the high places; they sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

32 And he set up an altar to Baal in the house of his abominations, which he built in Samaria.

33 And Achaab made a grove; and Achaab did yet more abominably, to provoke the Lord God of Israel, and to sin against his own life so that he should be destroyed: he did evil above all the kings of Israel that were before him.

34 And in his days Achiel the Bæthelite built Jericho: he laid the foundation of it in Abiron his first-born, and he set up the doors of it in Segub his younger son, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by Joshua the son of Naue.
