Baasha rested with his fathers. He was buried at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place. The word of Jehovah came to the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani. This was a warning against Baasha and his family because of all the evil he did in the eyes of Jehovah. He made Jehovah angry by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he killed him. In the twenty-sixth year that Asa was king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, became king of Israel in Tirzah. He was king for two years. read more.
His servant Zimri, commander of half his war-carriages made plans to kill him. He was in Tirzah, drinking hard at the house of Arza, controller of the king's house in Tirzah. Zimri attacked and killed him. It was the twenty-seventh year that Asa was king of Judah. Immediately after he became king and took his place on the throne of the kingdom, he put to death all the family of Baasha. Not one male child survived. So Zimri destroyed the entire family of Baasha as Jehovah promised through the prophet Jehu. This happened because of the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, and because of all the sins they led Israel to commit. It aroused the anger of Jehovah the God of Israel. The rest of the acts of Elah are recorded in the book of the History of the Kings of Israel.
