1Kings:16:2-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust ,
and made thee prince over my people Israel ;
and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam ,
and hast made my people Israel to sin ,
to provoke me to anger with their sins ;
*
Behold ,
I will take away the posterity of Baasha ,
and the posterity of his house ;
and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat .
*
Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat ;
and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat .
*
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 ?
*
So Baasha slept with his fathers ,
and was buried in Tirzah :
and Elah his son reigned in his stead .
*
And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha ,
and against his house ,
even for 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 he killed him .
*
In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah ,
two years .
*
And his servant Zimri ,
captain of half his chariots ,
conspired against him ,
as he was in Tirzah ,
drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah .
*
And Zimri went in and smote him ,
and killed him ,
in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah ,
and reigned in his stead .
*
And it came to pass ,
when he began to reign ,
as soon as he sat on his throne ,
that he slew all the house of Baasha :
he left him not one that pisseth against a wall ,
neither of his kinsfolks ,
nor of his friends .
*
Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha ,
according to the word of the LORD ,
which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet ,
*
For all the sins of Baasha ,
and the sins of Elah his son ,
by which they sinned ,
and by which they made Israel to sin ,
in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities .
