Melachim Alef 16:3

3 Hineni, I will sweep away after Ba’asha, and after his Bais; and I will make thy Bais like the Bais Yarov‘am Ben Nevat.

Melachim Alef 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.

Melachim Alef 16:3 In-Context

1 6 Then the Devar Hashem came to Yehu Ben Chanani against Ba’asha, saying,
2 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the aphar (dust), and made thee nagid over My people Yisroel; and thou hast walked in the derech Yarov‘am, and hast caused My people Yisroel to sin, to provoke Me to anger with their chattot;
3 Hineni, I will sweep away after Ba’asha, and after his Bais; and I will make thy Bais like the Bais Yarov‘am Ben Nevat.
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?
