1 Kings 16:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ In addition, a message from the Lord came through Hanani’s son Jehu the prophet against Baasha and his household, not only because of all of the things that Baasha^[a] did that the Lord considered to be evil, including provoking the Lord^[b] to anger by what he did and by being like the household of Jeroboam, but also because Baasha^[c] had destroyed Jeroboam’s household.^[d]

⁸ During the twenty-sixth year of the reign of^[e] King Asa of Judah, Baasha’s son Elah became king over Israel and reigned at Tirzah for two years. ⁹ But his servant Zimri, who commanded half of his chariot forces, conspired against Elah while he was drinking himself drunk in the home of Arza, who managed the household at Tirzah.
