1 Kings 16:23-25

New American Standard Bible

²³ In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel and reigned for twelve years; he reigned for six years at ^(A)Tirzah. ²⁴ And he purchased the hill ^[a]Samaria from Shemer for ^[b]two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and named the city which he built ^[c](B)Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.

²⁵ Now ^(C)Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and ^(D)acted more wickedly than all who were before him.
