1 Kings 16:1-7 - Baasha's Reign Over Israel
1 Jehovah spoke to the prophet Jehu son of Hanani and gave him this message to give to Baasha: 2 I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over my people Israel. You have gone the way of Jeroboam. You made my people Israel do evil, moving me to wrath by their sins. 3 Truly, I will take away the family of Baasha. I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. 4 Dogs will eat anyone of the family of Baasha who dies in town. The birds of the air will eat anyone who dies in the open country.
5 The rest of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his power, are recorded in the book of the History of the Kings of Israel. 6 Baasha rested with his fathers. He was buried at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place. 7 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.
