Elah’s Reign. 7 The word of the Lord came through Jehu the prophet, the son of Hanani, to condemn Baasha and his house for all the evil he had done in the sight of the Lord. He provoked him to anger through the deeds of his hands, for he did the same things as the house of Jeroboam and because he wiped it out.

5 As for the other events of Baasha’s reign, what he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals(A) of the kings of Israel? 6 Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah.(B) And Elah his son succeeded him as king.
7 Moreover, the word of the Lord came(C) through the prophet Jehu(D) 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.
