Context of 1 Kings 16:13

11At the beginning of Zimri’s reign, as soon as he was on his throne, he killed Baasha’s entire family. He didn’t spare any of Baasha’s male relatives or friends. 12So Zimri destroyed Baasha’s entire family, as the Lord had spoken through the prophet Jehu. This was for all the sins committed by Baasha and his son Elah. They sinned, led Israel to sin, and made the Lord God of Israel furious because of their worthless idols. 14Isn’t everything else about Elah—everything he did—written in the official records of the kings of Israel? 15In Asa’s twenty-seventh year as Judah’s king, Zimri ruled for seven days in Tirzah while the army was camped near the Philistine city of Gibbethon.

Commentaries on 1 Kings 16:13

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13For all the sins of Baasha - We see why it was that God permitted such judgments to fall on this family. Baasha was a grievous offender, and so also was his son Elah; and they caused the people to sin; and they provoked God to anger by their idolatries.Read the comment
