1 And so be it, a word of Yah Veh comes to Yah Hu the son of Hanani against Basha, saying,
2 Because I exalted you from the dust and gave you eminence over my people Yisra El; and you walk in the way of Yarob Am and have my people Yisra El sin - to vex me with their sins:
3 behold, I burn away the posterity of Basha, and the posterity of his house; and give your house as the house of Yarob Am the son of Nebat.
4 He of Basha who dies in the city, the dogs devour; and he of his who dies in the fields, the flyers of the heavens devour.
5 And the rest of the words of Basha and what he worked and his might; are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?
6 And Basha lies down with his fathers - entombed in Tirsah: and Elah his son reigns in his stead.
7 And so be it, by the hand of the prophet Yah Hu the son of Hanani the word of Yah Veh comes against Basha and against his house for all the evil he works in the eyes of Yah Veh - in vexing him with the work of his hands in being as the house of Yarob Am; and because he smote him.

THE REIGN OF ELAH OVER YISRA EL
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah Elah the son of Basha begins to reign over Yisra El in Tirsah, two years: 9 and his servant Zimri governor of half his chariots conspires against him as he is in Tirsah - drinking himself intoxicated in the house of Arsa the steward of the house in Tirsah: 10 and Zimri goes in and smites him and deathifies him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah; and he reigns in his stead. 11 And so be it, he begins to reign; and as soon as he settles on his throne he smites all the house of Basha so that not one who urinates against a wall survives - neither of his redeemers nor of his friends: 12 thus Zimri desolates all the house of Basha; according to the word Yah Veh worded against Basha by the hand of Yah Hu the prophet: 13 for all the sins of Basha and the sins of Elah his son which they sin; and by which they have Yisra El sin; in vexing Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El with their vanities. 14 And the rest of the words of Elah, and all he works, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El? 15
THE REIGN OF ZIMRI OVER YISRA EL
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah Zimri reigns seven days in Tirsah. And the people encamp against Gibbethon who are to the Peleshethiy. 16 And the people who encamp hear say, Zimri conspired and smote the sovereign: wherefore all Yisra El has Omri become the governor of the host - to reign over Yisra El that day in the camp: 17 and Omri ascends from Gibbethon with all Yisra El and they besiege Tirsah: 18 and so be it, Zimri sees the city captured, and he goes to the citadel of the house of the sovereign, and burns the house of the sovereign over himself with fire, and he dies 19 for the sins he sins in working evil in the eyes of Yah Veh - in walking in the way of Yarob Am and in the sin he works to have Yisra El sin. 20 And the rest of the words of Zimri and the conspiracy he conspired: are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El? 21
