1 Kings 16:1-7

1Now the word of the Lord came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha:

2“Because I raised you up from the dust and made you ruler over my people Israel, but you have walked in the ways of Jeroboam and have caused my people Israel to sin, angering me with their sins,

3take note: I will eradicate Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

4Anyone who belongs to Baasha and dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and anyone who is his and dies in the field, the birds will eat.”

5The rest of the events of Baasha’s reign, along with all his accomplishments and might, are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings.

6Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah became king in his place.

7But through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani the word of the Lord also had come against Baasha and against his house because of all the evil he had done in the Lord’s sight. His actions angered the Lord, and Baasha’s house became like the house of Jeroboam, because he had struck it down.
