1 Kings 16:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ Baasha lay down with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah succeeded him as king.

⁷ But the Lord’s word came through the prophet Jehu, Hanani’s son, concerning Baasha and his house. It concerned everything evil in the Lord’s eyes that Baasha had done, angering the Lord by his actions so that he would end up just like the house of Jeroboam. The message was also about how the Lord attacked Baasha.^[a]
