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

1 And the Word of Jehovah came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 2 Since I exalted you out of the dust, and made you ruler over My people Israel, and since you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made My people Israel to sin, to provoke Me to anger with their sins, 3 behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house. And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 4 Those of Baasha who die in the city shall the dogs eat. And those of his who die in the fields, the birds of the air shall eat.

5 And the rest of the acts of Baasha and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel? 6 And Baasha lay with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah. And Elah his son reigned in his place. 7 And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the Word of Jehovah against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of Jehovah, in provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he killed him.
