¹² So Zimri destroyed the whole family of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu—

16 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu^(A) son of Hanani^(B) concerning Baasha:

¹⁵ So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from God,^(A) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.^(B)

²⁵ He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath^(A) to the Dead Sea,^[a](B) in accordance with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah^(C) son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.

⁷ Moreover, the word of the Lord came^(A) through the prophet Jehu^(B) son of Hanani to Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger by the things he did, becoming like the house of Jeroboam—and also because he destroyed it.

³ So I am about to wipe out Baasha^(A) and his house,^(B) and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat.

¹⁸ They buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, as the Lord had said through his servant the prophet Ahijah.
