1. Now the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2. "Inasmuch as I exalted you from the dust and made you leader over My people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made My people Israel sin, provoking Me to anger with their sins,
3. behold, I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4. Anyone of Baasha who dies in the city the dogs will eat, and anyone of his who dies in the field the birds of the heavens will 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?
