Bible. Kings, 1st
11:016:002 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee
prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way
of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke
me to anger with their sins;
11:016:003 Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the
posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house
of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
11:016:004 Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and
him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air
eat.
11:016:005 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?
11:016:006 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah:
and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
11:016:007 And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani
came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his
house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the
LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in
being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
11:016:008 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah
the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
11:016:009 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired
against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in
the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
11:016:010 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty
and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his
stead.
11:016:011 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat
on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left
him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his
kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
11:016:012 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to
the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu
the prophet.
11:016:013 For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by
which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in
provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
11:016:014 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel?
11:016:015 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri
reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped
against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
