1 Kings 16:24-26

Living Bible

²⁴ Then Omri bought the hill now known as Samaria from its owner, Shemer, for $4,000 and built a city on it, calling it Samaria in honor of Shemer. ²⁵ But Omri was worse than any of the kings before him; ²⁶ he worshiped idols as Jeroboam had and led Israel into this same sin. So God was very angry.
