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 word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2 "Because I exalted you from the dust and I made you a leader over my people Israel, but you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and you caused my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their sins,
3 I am now [about to] consume Baasha and his house. I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4 Those who die for Baasha in the city, the dogs will eat; those who die for him in the field, the birds of the heavens will eat."
5 The remainder of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his powerful deeds, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
