1 Kings 16:24-26
English Standard Version
24 He bought the hill of (A)Samaria from Shemer for two talents[a] of silver, and he fortified the hill and called the name of the city that he built (B)Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.
25 (C)Omri did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did more evil (D)than all who were before him. 26 For (E)he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in the sins that he made Israel to sin, (F)provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols.
