1 Kings 16:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ In the one and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years.

²⁴ And he bought the hill of Samaria of Semer for two talents of silver: and he built upon it, and he called the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Semer the owner of the hill.

²⁵ And Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted wickedly above all that were before him.
