1 Kings 16:3-12
3behold, 1I am going to 2burn 3Baasha and his house, and 4I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 45Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, the dogs will eat; and anyone belonging to him who dies in the field, the birds of the sky will eat.”
56Now as for the rest of the acts of Baasha and what he did and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 6And Baasha 7lay down with his fathers and was buried in 8Tirzah, and his son Elah became king in his place. 7Moreover, the word of the Lord through 9the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came against Baasha and his household, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger with 10the work of his hands, by being like the house of Jeroboam, and because 11he struck 12it.
8In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel at Tirzah, and reigned for two years. 9And his servant 13Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now 14Elah was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, 15who was in charge of the household in Tirzah. 10Then Zimri came in and struck him and put him to death in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and he became king in his place. 11And when he became king, as soon as he sat on his throne, 16he 17killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave 18a single male alive, either of his 19relatives or of his friends.
12So Zimri eliminated all the household of Baasha, 20in accordance with the word of the Lord which He spoke against Baasha through 21Jehu the prophet,
