1 Kings 16:23-25

Tree of Life Version

²³ In the thirty-first year of King Asa of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and reigned 12 years, six years in Tirzah. ²⁴ Then he bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver, and built a city on the hill. He named the city that he built Samaria, based on the name Shemer, the owner of the hill.

²⁵ But Omri did what was evil in Adonai’s eyes, and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.
