Melachim Alef 16:23-25

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²³ In the thirty and first year of Asa Melech Yehudah began Omri to reign as Melech over Yisroel, reigning twelve years; shesh shanim reigned he in Tirtzah.

²⁴ And he bought the Har Shomron from Shemer for two talents of kesef, and built on the hill, and called the shem of the Ir which he built, after the shem of Shemer, adonei hahar (owner of the hill), Shomron.

²⁵ But Omri wrought rah in the eyes of Hashem, and did sin more than all that were before him.
