1 Kings 16:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And also [a]by the hand of Jehu the son of Hanani the Prophet, came the word of the Lord to Baasha, and to his house, that he should be like the house of Jeroboam, even for all the wickedness that he did in the sight of the Lord, in provoking him with the work of his hands, and because he killed [b]him.
8 ¶ In the six and twenty years of Asa king of Judah, began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two years.
9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah [c]drinking, till he was drunken in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
