1 Kings 16:1-4

1Jehu son of Hanani received from the Lord this message predicting Baasha’s downfall:

2“I raised you up from the dust and made you ruler over my people Israel. Yet you followed in Jeroboam’s footsteps and encouraged my people Israel to sin; their sins have made me angry.

3So I am ready to burn up Baasha and his family, and make your family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat.

4Dogs will eat the members of Baasha’s family who die in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat the ones who die in the country.”
