1Kings:16:2-13
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Inasmuch as I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel ,
and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam ,
and have made My people Israel sin ,
to provoke Me to anger with their sins ,
*
surely I will take away the posterity of Baasha and the posterity of his house ,
and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat .
*
The dogs shall eat whoever belongs to Baasha and dies in the city ,
and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the fields ."
*
Now the rest of the acts of Baasha ,
what he did ,
and his might ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
*
So Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah .
Then Elah his son reigned in his place .
*
And also the word of the LORD came by the prophet Jehu 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 he killed them .
*
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah ,
Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel ,
and reigned two years in Tirzah .
*
Now his servant Zimri ,
commander 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 struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah ,
and reigned in his place .
*
Then it came to pass ,
when he began to reign ,
as soon as he was seated on his throne ,
that he killed all the household of Baasha ;
he did not leave him one male ,
neither of his relatives nor of his friends .
*
Thus Zimri destroyed all the household of Baasha ,
according to the word of the LORD ,
which He spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet ,
*
for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son ,
by which they had sinned and by which they had made Israel sin ,
in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their idols .
