1 Kings 16:5 In-Context

3 And now the consequences - I will burn Baasha and his regime to cinders, the identical fate of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
4 Baasha's people who die in the city will be eaten by scavenger dogs; carrion crows will eat the ones who die in the country."
5 The rest of Baasha's life, the record of his regime, is written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
6 Baasha died and was buried with his ancestors in Tirzah. His son Elah was king after him.
7 That's the way it was with Baasha: Through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani, God's word came to him and his regime because of his life of open evil before God and his making God so angry - a chip off the block of Jeroboam, even though God had destroyed him.
