1 Kings 16:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

16 Then God gave a message to Hanani's son Jehu about punishment for King Baasha. ² This was the message: ‘Even though you were not an important person, I made you the leader of my people, the Israelites. But then you did all the bad things that Jeroboam did! Also, you caused my people the Israelites to do bad things. Their sins have caused me to become very angry. ³ So now I am ready to destroy you and your family. I will remove your family as I did to the family of Nebat's son Jeroboam.
