1 Kings 16:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

²⁶ And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
