2 “Eu o levantei do pó e o tornei líder de Israel, o meu povo, mas você andou nos caminhos de Jeroboão e fez o meu povo pecar e provocar a minha ira por causa dos pecados deles.

1 Reis 16:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 16:2

Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust
From a very low estate, and mean family:

and made thee prince over my people Israel;
as they were of right, and ought to have been; and though Baasha got the kingdom by treachery and murder, yet the translation of the kingdom to him was according to the appointment of God, and by his overruling providence; and even his act of killing Nadab was a fulfilment of a prophecy of his; and had he done it in obedience to the will of God, and in vengeance for his sin, would not have been blameworthy, since then he would have been an executioner of the, justice of God:

and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people
Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
committing and encouraging the same idolatrous practices, so very provoking to God.

1 Reis 16:2 In-Context

1 Então a palavra do SENHOR contra Baasa veio a Jeú, filho de Hanani:

2 “Eu o levantei do pó e o tornei líder de Israel, o meu povo, mas você andou nos caminhos de Jeroboão e fez o meu povo pecar e provocar a minha ira por causa dos pecados deles.

3 Por isso estou na iminência de destruir Baasa e a sua família, fazendo a ela o que fiz à de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate.

4 Cães comerão os da família de Baasa que morrerem na cidade, e as aves do céu se alimentarão dos que morrerem no campo”.

5 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Baasa, seus atos e suas realizações estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel.
