1 The Lord sent Jehu son of Hanani to say to Baasha:
2 Nobody knew who you were until I, the Lord, chose you to be the leader of my people Israel. And now you're acting exactly like Jeroboam by causing the Israelites to sin. What you've done has made me so angry
3 that I will destroy you and your family, just as I did the family of Jeroboam.
4 Dogs will eat the bodies of your relatives who die in town, and vultures will eat the bodies of those who die in the country.
