1 Kings 16:23-25

Jubilee Bible 2000

²³ In the year thirty-one of Asa, king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and he reigned twelve years; he reigned six years in Tirzah.

²⁴ And he bought the mountain of Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver and built on the mount and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, lord of the hill, Samaria.

²⁵ And Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD and did worse than all that were before him.
