1 Kings 16:6-8

Names of God Bible

⁶ Baasha lay down in death with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah succeeded him as king. ⁷ In addition, Yahweh spoke his word to the prophet Jehu, Hanani’s son, against Baasha and his family because of all the things Baasha did which Yahweh considered evil. Baasha’s actions, which made Yahweh furious, were like the sin of Jeroboam’s family. Yahweh was also furious because Baasha destroyed Jeroboam’s family.
