1 Kings 16:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ Everything else Baasha did and all his victories are written down. They are in the book of the history of the kings of Israel. ⁶ So Baasha died and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah became king in his place.

⁷ The Lord spoke his word through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani. The Lord’s message was against Baasha and his family. Baasha had done many things the Lord said were wrong. This made the Lord very angry. Baasha did the same things that Jeroboam’s family had done before him. The Lord was also angry because Baasha killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
