Elah’s reign over Yisrael

16:8 Elah’s reign over Yisrael

Northern kingdom

8Baasha’s son Elah began to reign in the twenty-sixth year of King Asa’s reign over Yehudah, and he ruled from Tirtsah for two years. 9However, his servant Zimri who was the commander of half of the chariots conspired against him. Once when Elah was in Tirtsah getting himself drunk at the house of Arza (who was in charge of the palace), 10Zimri went in and attacked and killed him, and took over his place as king. (That was in the twenty-seventh year of King Asa’s reign over Yehudah.)

11As soon as Zimri took over and sat on his throne, he had all of Baasha’s family executed—he didn’t leave a single male or relative or friend. 12In that way, Zimri eliminated all of Baasha’s descendants just as Yahweh had said via the prophet Yehu 13concerning all of Baasha’s sins and the sins of his son Elah, and because they caused Yisrael to sin by provoking Yisrael’s God Yahweh to get angry with their idols. 14Everything else that Elah did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yisrael.
