1 Kings 16:1-3

New International Reader's Version

16 The Lord’s message about Baasha came to Jehu, the son of Hanani. Here is what the Lord said about Baasha. ² “I lifted you up from the dust. I appointed you king over my people Israel. But you lived the way Jeroboam had lived. You also caused my people Israel to sin. And their sins made me very angry. ³ So I am about to destroy you, Baasha, and your royal house. I will make your house like the royal house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
