1. Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha:
2. "I lifted you up from the dust and made you leader of my people Israel,
   but you walked in the ways of Jeroboam and caused my people Israel to sin and to provoke me to anger by their sins.
3. So I am about to consume Baasha and his house,
   and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
4. Dogs will eat those belonging to Baasha who die in the city,
   and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the country."
5. As for the other events of Baasha's reign,
   what he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
6. Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah. And Elah his son succeeded him as king.
7. Moreover, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani to Baasha and his house,
   because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the LORD,
   provoking him to anger by the things he did,
   and becoming like the house of Jeroboam--and also because he destroyed it.
8. In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.
9. Zimri, one of his officials, who had command of half his chariots, plotted against him.
   Elah was in Tirzah at the time, getting drunk in the home of Arza, the man in charge of the palace at Tirzah.
10. Zimri came in, struck him down and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah.
   Then he succeeded him as king.
11. As soon as he began to reign and was seated on the throne, he killed off Baasha's whole family.
   He did not spare a single male, whether relative or friend.
12. So Zimri destroyed the whole family of Baasha,
   in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu--
13. because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit,
   so that they provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger by their worthless idols.
14. As for the other events of Elah's reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
15. In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah seven days.
   The army was encamped near Gibbethon, a Philistine town.
16. When the Israelites in the camp heard that Zimri had plotted against the king and murdered him,
   they proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that very day there in the camp.
17. Then Omri and all the Israelites with him withdrew from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirzah.
18. When Zimri saw that the city was taken,
   he went into the citadel of the royal palace and set the palace on fire around him. So he died,
19. because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the eyes of the LORD
   and walking in the ways of Jeroboam and in the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.
20. As for the other events of Zimri's reign, and the rebellion he carried out,
   are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
21. Then the people of Israel were split into two factions;
   half supported Tibni son of Ginath for king, and the other half supported Omri.
22. But Omri's followers proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.
23. In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.
24. He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver and built a city on the hill,
   calling it Samaria, after Shemer, the name of the former owner of the hill.
25. But Omri did evil in the eyes of the LORD and sinned more than all those before him.
26. He walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sin,
   which he had caused Israel to commit, so that they provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger by their worthless idols.
27. As for the other events of Omri's reign, what he did and the things he achieved,
   are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
28. Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. And Ahab his son succeeded him as king.
29. In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel,
   and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years.
30. Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the LORD than any of those before him.
31. He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat,
   but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him.
32. He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria.
33. Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel,
   to anger than did all the kings of Israel before him.
34. In Ahab's time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho.
   He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram,
   and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub,
   in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son of Nun.




북 이스라엘의 왕들에 대한 기사
바아사로 시작하여
오므리왕조에 이르는 기록들....


하나님은
이들의 왕정을 기록하시되
오로지 그들이 어떻게 하나님의 말씀을 떠나
이스라엘로 범죄케 하였는가만을 기술하고 계시다.

그들의 치세의 기록에 공통적으로 등장하는 말

because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the eyes of the LORD
   and walking in the ways of Jeroboam and in the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.

여로보암의 길로행하여
하나님의 눈앞에서 범죄하고 이스라엘로 범죄하게 하였다.
하나님의 노를 격발하고 .....

그리고 아합과 오므리에 이르면
하나님의 평가는 더욱 강렬해지고 만다.

Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the LORD than any of those before him.

"did more evil in the eyes of the LORD"

특별히 아합은
그 부인 이세벨로 통하여
바알을 위한 산당을 짓고 아세라를 섬기게 하고 있다.
이로 그의 악은 온 이스라엘로 바알과 아세라를 섬기는
죄악을 범하게 하는 장본인이 되고 마는 것이다.

이모든 기록이 진행되는 동안
남쪽 유다의 왕은 "아사" 한 명인것을 볼 수 있다.
남쪽유다의 선한왕 아사가 치세하고 있을때에
하나님을 떠난 이스라엘의 왕들은
서로를 죽이고 반란을 통하여
계속해서 왕조가 바뀌어가고 있는 것을 보여주는 것이다.

그들이 얼마나 강건했는지
그들의 군사력이나 정치력이 어떠했는지에
성경은 관심이 없다.
다만 그들이 하나님 앞에서 어찌 행했는지와
그로 인하여 하나님이 그들의 왕위를
어찌 물리셨는지를 기록하고자 할뿐이다.

다윗이후에
이리도 속히
하나님의 나라된 이스라엘이
하나님을 떠나고
하나님의 나라인 이스라엘 땅에
이리도 속히 우상의 전이 세워질 수 있는가?

하나님이 선택하시고 약속하신 땅
그곳에 심으시고 하나님이 왕이되시마 약속하신 민족
그들에게 영구한 기업으로 땅을 주시고
하나님의 영광이 임재하는 성전을 허락하신 그곳에
산당이 세워지고
금송아지와 바알, 그리고 아세라를 비롯한
우상의 전이 세워지며
그들을 향한 제사가 드려지고
그들을 섬기는 제사장들이 세워지고 있는 것이다.

하나님은 어디에 계시는가?
하나님은 이스라엘의 마음 가운데
좌정하지 못하시고 있다는 것인가?


지금 우리의 마음에
하나님은 자리하고 꼐시며
그 주권은 우리의 삶 가운데 인정되고 있는가?
