1 Kings 16:3

3 So I will destroy Baasha and his family. I will make his family like the family 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 spoke his word to Jehu, Hanani's son, against Baasha.
2 He said, "I raised you from the dust and made you leader of my people Israel. But you have lived like Jeroboam. You have led my people to sin, and their sins make me furious.
3 So I will destroy Baasha and his family. I will make his family like the family of Jeroboam (Nebat's son).
4 Dogs will eat anyone from Baasha's [family] who dies in the city. Birds will eat anyone from his [family] who dies in the country."
5 Isn't everything else about Baasha--what he did and his heroic acts--written in the official records of the kings of Israel?
