1 Kings 16:5-7

5Isn’t everything else about Baasha—what he did and his heroic acts—written in the official records of the kings of Israel?

6Baasha lay down in death with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah succeeded him as king.

7In addition, the Lord spoke his word to the prophet Jehu, Hanani’s son, against Baasha and his family because of all the things Baasha did which the Lord considered evil. Baasha’s actions, which made the Lord furious, were like ⌞the sin of⌟ Jeroboam’s family. The Lord was also furious because Baasha destroyed Jeroboam’s family.
