1 Kings 16:3

3 So look, I am about to set fire to Baasha and his household, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam, Nebat's son.

1 Kings 16:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 16:3

Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the
posterity of his house
By death, there shall be none of his family remaining in any branch of it:

and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat;
execute the same judgment on it, and in the same manner, their sins being alike.

1 Kings 16:3 In-Context

1 The LORD's word came to Jehu, Hanani's son, against Baasha:
2 I raised you up from the dust and made you a leader over my people Israel, but you walked in Jeroboam's ways, making my people Israel sin, making me angry with their sins.
3 So look, I am about to set fire to Baasha and his household, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam, Nebat's son.
4 Dogs will eat any of Baasha's family who die in town. Birds will eat any who die in the country.
5 Now the rest of Baasha's deeds, what he did, and his powerful acts, aren't they written in the official records of Israel's kings?
