1. Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2. Since I exalted you out of the dust, and made you ruler over my people Israel; and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
3. Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4. He that dies of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and he that dies of him in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
5. Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
6. So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his place.
