1 Kings 16:26

Israel's King Omri

²⁵ Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted more wickedly than all who were before him. ²⁶ For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and in his sins which he made Israel sin, provoking the Lord God of Israel with their idols. ²⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did and his might which he showed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
