The Reigns of Elah, Zimri, Omri, and Ahab

16 Then the word of the Lord came to ^(A)Jehu the son of ^(B)Hanani, against ^(C)Baasha, saying: ^2 (D)“Inasmuch as I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, and ^(E)you 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 ^(F)take^[a] away the posterity of Baasha and the posterity of his house, and I will make your house like ^(G)the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. ⁴ The dogs shall eat ^(H)whoever belongs to Baasha and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the fields.”

⁷ And also the word of the Lord came by the prophet ^(A)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 ^(B)he killed them.
