1 Kings 16

¹ Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying:

² “Even though I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have caused My people Israel to sin and to provoke Me to anger by their sins.

³ So now I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

⁴ Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
