Elah Reigns in Israel

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.

9 

However, while Elah was in Tirzah getting drunk in the house of Arza the steward of [his] household [there], [Elah’s] servant Zimri, the commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. 10 So in the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri went in, struck Elah down, and killed him. And Zimri reigned in his place.

11 

As soon as [Zimri] began to reign and was seated on the throne, he struck down the entire household of Baasha. He did not leave a single male whether a kinsman or friend. 12 So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, according to the word that the LORD had spoken against Baasha through Jehu the prophet. 13 This happened because of all the sins Baasha [and] his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, {to anger} with their worthless idols.

14 

As for the rest of the acts of Elah, along with all his accomplishments [are] they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
