1 Kings 16:1-7

1And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 against BaashaH1201, sayingH559, 2Forasmuch as I exaltedH7311 thee out of the dustH6083, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou hast walked in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and hast madeH5414 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, to provokeH3707 me to angerH3707 with their sinsH2398; 3behold, I will utterly sweep away BaashaH1201 and his houseH1004; and I will makeH5414 thy houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028. 4Him that dieth of BaashaH1201 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398; and him that dieth of his in the fieldH7704 shall the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 eatH398.

5Now the restH3499 of the acts of BaashaH1201, and what he did, and his might, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 6And BaashaH1201 slept with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in TirzahH8656; and ElahH425 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. 7And moreover by the prophetH5030 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 came the wordH1697 of Jehovah against BaashaH1201, and against his houseH1004, both because of all the evilH7451 that he did in the sight of Jehovah, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of his handsH3027, in being like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and because he smote him.
