Kings Behaving Badly

A guy named Jehu prophesies that because Baasha's being just as bad as his dad was, his posterity is going to die and get eaten by dogs and birds.
Sure enough, after Baasha dies and his son Elah takes over, one of Elah's captains, Zimri, kills him when he's drunk in a city called Tirzah.
Then Zimri kills all of the males in Elah's family. He even kills all of his friends. Harsh, dude.
Zimri acts as king for seven days in Tirzah, but when word of what he's done reaches the people, they make Omri, the captain of the host, their king.
Omri leads his armies against Zimri in Tirzah, and when Zimri sees that he's lost the battle, he sets the palace on fire and burns himself to death inside.
But not everyone wants Omri to be king, and a division arises, with half of the people following Omri and half following a guy named Tibni.
But Tibni loses, so Omri's king after all.
During his reign, Omri buys a hill and builds a city there called Samaria.
Omri is more evil than anyone that came before him, and when he dies his son Ahab becomes king.
And Ahab is even worse than his dad. Uh-oh.
Ahab marries Jezebel, an idolatrous Sidonian princess, and he worships Baal, building altars and monuments dedicated to him.
