1. The Lord spoke to the prophet Jehu son of Hanani and gave him this message for Baasha:
2. “You were a nobody, but I made you the leader of my people Israel. And now you have sinned like Jeroboam and have led my people into sin. Their sins have aroused my anger,
3. and so I will do away with you and your family, just as I did with Jeroboam.
