Zimri kills Elah in Tirzah and destroys all the house of Baasha

시므리가 디르사에서 엘라를 쳐 죽이고 바아사의 온 집을 멸함

1 Kings 16:8–14: in the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha begins to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years. The text says, “His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah; and Zimri went in and struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place. When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He didn’t leave him a single one who urinates on a wall among his relatives or his friends. Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.” It also says, “Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?” The Korean Revised Version tells first that Elah was in Tirzah, drinking in the house of Arza, and then that Zimri conspired against the king (16:9); it names no one at 16:10 and puts the twenty-seventh year of Asa at the end of that verse; it names Zimri at 16:11 (시므리가 왕이 되어) and no one at 16:12.

    8In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.

    9His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah;

    10and Zimri went in and struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

    11When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He didn’t leave him a single one who urinates on a wall among his relatives or his friends.

    12Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

    13for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

    14Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
