Listen to 1 Kings 16:3
3 and so I will do away with you and your family, just as I did with Jeroboam.

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 spoke to the prophet Jehu son of Hanani and gave him this message for Baasha:
2 "You were a nobody, but I made you the leader of my people Israel. And now you have sinned like Jeroboam and have led my people into sin. Their sins have aroused my anger,
3 and so I will do away with you and your family, just as I did with Jeroboam.
4 Any members of your family who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and any who die in the open country will be eaten by vultures."
5 Everything else that Baasha did and all his brave deeds are recorded in [The History of the Kings of Israel.]
