ELAH, 5. Son and successor of Baasha, king of Israel
6. Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and ELAH his son reigned in his place.
7. Moreover The LORD's word came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in The LORD's sight, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.
8. In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, ELAH the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.
9. His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah;
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.
11. When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He didn't leave him a single one who urinates on a
wall among his relatives or his friends.
12. Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to The LORD's word, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
13. for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of ELAH his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke The LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
14. Now the rest of the acts of ELAH, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
