Melachim Alef 16:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 16:6

So Baasha slept with his fathers
Or died, not a violent, but natural, death:

and was buried in Tirzah;
where was the royal palace of the kings of Israel:

and Elah his son reigned in his stead;
yet but a short time.

Melachim Alef 16:6 In-Context

4 Him that dieth of Ba’asha in the Ir shall the kelavim eat; and him that dieth of his in the sadeh (country) shall the oph HaShomayim eat.

5 Now the rest of the acts of Ba’asha, and what he did, and his gevurah, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel?

6 So Ba’asha slept with his avot, and was buried in Tirtzah: and Elah Bno reigned as Melech in his place.

7 And also by the yad HaNavi Yehu Ben Chanani came the Devar Hashem against Ba’asha, and against his Bais, even for all ra’ah that he did in the eyes of Hashem, in provoking Him to anger by the ma’aseh (work) of his hands, in becoming like the Bais Yarov‘am; and because he struck it.

8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa Melech Yehudah began Elah Ben Ba’asha to reign as Melech over Yisroel in Tirtzah, reigning two years.
