1 Kings 16:6-8
International Standard Version
6 Eventually, Baasha died, as had his ancestors, and he was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah was installed as king in his place.
7 In addition, a message from the Lord came through Hanani’s son Jehu the prophet against Baasha and his household, not only because of all of the things that Baasha[a] did that the Lord considered to be evil, including provoking the Lord[b] to anger by what he did and by being like the household of Jeroboam, but also because Baasha[c] had destroyed Jeroboam’s household.[d]
