1 Kings 16:1-7 - Baasha's Reign Over Israel

1 And the word of Jehovah will be to Jehu, son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying, 2 Because I raised thee up from the dust, and I will give thee chief over my people Israel, and thou wilt go in the way of Jeroboam, and cause my people Israel to sin, to irritate me in their sins. 3 Behold me taking away after Baasha, and after his house; and I gave thy house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat 4 Him dying to Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him dying to him in the field, shall the birds of the heavens eat

5 And the rest of the words of Baasha, and what he did, and his strength, are they not written upon the book of the words of the days to the kings of Israel? 6 And Baasha will lie down with his fathers, and will be buried in Tirzah and his son Elah will reign in his stead. 7 And also by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani the prophet, the word of Jehovah was against Baasha and against his house, and for all the evil which he did in the eyes of Jehovah to irritate him in the work of his hands to be as the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him.
