1 Kings 16:8 in Context — 1 Kings 16
6 E descansou Baasa com seus pais, e foi sepultado em Tirsa; e reinou em seu lugar Elá, seu filho.
7 Porém a palavra do SENHOR por meio de Jeú profeta, filho de Hanani, havia sido contra Baasa e também contra sua casa, com motivo de todo o mal que fez aos olhos do SENHOR, provocando-lhe à ira com as obras de suas mãos, para que fosse feita como a casa de Jeroboão; e porque o havia ferido.
8 No ano vinte e seis de Asa rei de Judá, começou a reinar Elá filho de Baasa sobre Israel em Tirsa; e reinou dois anos.
9 E fez conspiração contra ele seu servo Zinri, comandante da metade dos carros. E estando ele em Tirsa, bebendo e embriagado em casa de Arsa seu mordomo em Tirsa,
10 Veio Zinri, e o feriu e matou, no ano vinte e sete de Asa rei de Judá; e reinou em lugar seu.
