1 Kings 16:24 in Context — 1 Kings 16
22 Mas el pueblo que seguía á Omri, pudo más que el que seguía á Thibni hijo de Gineth; y Thibni murió, y Omri fué rey.
23 En el año treinta y uno de Asa rey de Judá, comenzó á reinar Omri sobre Israel, [y reinó] doce años: en Thirsa reinó seis años.
24 Y compró él de Semer el monte de Samaria por dos talentos de plata, y edificó [en] el monte: y llamó el nombre de la ciudad que edificó, Samaria, del nombre de Semer, señor [que fué] de aquel monte.
25 Y Omri hizo lo malo á los ojos de Jehová, é hizo peor que todos los que habían sido antes de él:
26 Pues anduvo en todos los caminos de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, y en su pecado con que hizo pecar á Israel, provocando á ira á Jehová Dios de Israel con sus ídolos.
