1 Kings 16:1-7

1And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 againstH5921 BaashaH1201, sayingH559,

2Forasmuch as I exaltedH7311 thee outH4480 of the dustH6083, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and thou hast walked in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and hast madeH5414 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, to provokeH3707 meH5414 to angerH3707 with their sinsH2398;

3beholdH2005, I will utterly sweep awayH310 BaashaH1201 and his houseH1004; and I will makeH5414 thy houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.

4Him that dieth of BaashaH1201 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398; and him that dieth of his in the fieldH7704 shall the fowls of the air eatH398.

5NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of BaashaH1201, and whatH834 he didH6213, and his might, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?

6And BaashaH1201 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in TirzahH8656; and ElahH425 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478.

7And moreoverH1571 by the handH3027 of the prophetH5030 JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 againstH5921 BaashaH1201, and againstH5921 his houseH1004, bothH1571 becauseH5921 of allH3605 the evilH7451 that he didH6213 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of his handsH3027, in beingH1961 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and becauseH5921 he smoteH5221 him.
