1 Kings 16:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 The rest of the story about Baasha and the great things he did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Israel. 6 Baasha died and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah became the new king after him.
7 That book also has the story of the time the Lord gave the message to Jehu the prophet about Baasha and his family. Baasha did many things the Lord said were wrong, just as Jeroboam and his family had done. This and the fact that Baasha had killed everyone in Jeroboam’s family made the Lord very angry.

1 Kings 16:5-7
New International Version
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.
