Baasha Reigns in Israel

1 Kings 15

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel at Tirzah, and he reigned twenty-four years. 34 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord m and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel to sin.

1 Kings 16

1 And the word of the Lord came to n Jehu the son of o Hanani against Baasha, saying, 2 "Since I p exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, and q you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins, 3 behold, I will utterly r sweep away s Baasha and his house, and I will make your house t like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 4 u Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone of his who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat."

5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 6 And Baasha slept with his fathers and was buried at v Tirzah, and Elah his son reigned in his place. 7 Moreover, the word of the Lord came by the prophet n Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and also because w he destroyed it.
