Context of 1 Kings 16:5

3So now I am ready to destroy you and your family. I will remove your family as I did to the family of Nebat's son Jeroboam. 4If people of your family die in the city, dogs will eat their bodies. If they die in the country, vultures will eat them.’ The other things that happened while Baasha was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Israel's kings’. It tells about all the things that Baasha did and about his power. 6Baasha died and they buried him in Tirzah. His son Elah became king after him. 7Hanani's son Jehu, the prophet, had received a message from the Lord about Baasha and his family. Baasha had done many things that the Lord said were evil, in the same way that Jeroboam had done. Baasha had even destroyed Jeroboam's whole family. These bad things made the Lord very angry.
