1 Then the word of the Lord came to aJehu the son of bHanani, against cBaasha, saying:
2 a“Inasmuch as I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, and byou have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made My people Israel sin, to provoke Me to anger with their sins,
3 surely I will atake away the posterity of Baasha and the posterity of his house, and I will make your house like bthe house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4 The dogs shall eat awhoever belongs to Baasha and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the fields.”
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his might, aare they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
6 So Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in aTirzah. Then Elah his son reigned in his place.
7 And also the word of the Lord came by the prophet aJehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord in provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because bhe killed them.
