Elah

Elah ("Name means::an oak") (r. 930-929 BC by James Ussher, or 886-885 BC by Thiele ) was the fourth king of the Kingdom of Israel. He reigned for two years. His reign was remarkable only for how it ended.

Genealogy
His father was Baasha, and his death fulfilled a baleful prophecy given Baasha toward the end of his reign.

Death and Succession
His general, Zimri, surprised him while he was intoxicating himself in the home of his steward, Arza. Zimri killed him, took his throne, and killed all his relatives and associates. The Bible provides insufficient information to date this event precisely. Elah used non-accession reckoning to date his reign.
