Melachim Alef 16:24-29 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

24. And he bought the Har Shomron from Shemer for two talents of kesef, and built on the hill, and called the shem of the Ir which he built, after the shem of Shemer, adonei hahar (owner of the hill), Shomron.

25. But Omri wrought rah in the eyes of Hashem, and did sin more than all that were before him.

26. For he walked in all the derech Yarov`am Ben Nevat, and in his chattat wherewith he made Yisroel to sin, to provoke Hashem Elohei Yisroel to anger with their havalim (vanities, nothingnesses, i.e., idols)

27. Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his gevurah that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yisroel?

28. So Omri slept with his avot, and was buried in Shomron; and Ach'av Bno reigned as Melech in his place.

29. And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa Melech Yehudah began Ach'av Ben Omri (Ahab Son of Omri) to reign as Melech over Yisroel; and Ach'av Ben Omri reigned over Yisroel in Shomron twenty and two shanah.
