1 Then the Lord spoke against King Baasha through the prophet, Jehu son of Hanani. He said,
2 “I made you an important prince over my people Israel. But you have done the same things Jeroboam did. You have caused my people Israel to sin. Their sins have made me angry.
3 So Baasha, I will destroy you and your family, just as I did Jeroboam son of Nebat and his family.
4 Dogs will eat the bodies of those in your family who die in the city. And wild birds will eat the bodies of those who die out in the fields.”
