5 The remainder of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his powerful deeds, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
6 Baasha slept with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king in his place.
7 Moreover, the word of Yahweh came to Baasha and to his house by the hand of Jehu the son of Hanani the prophet, because of all the evil that he did in the eyes of Yahweh by provoking him with the work of his hands, by being like the house of Jeroboam; and he destroyed him.
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel for two years.
9 His servant Zimri the commander of half of the chariots conspired against him. Now he had been in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza who was over the palace in Tirzah.
10 Zimri came and struck him down and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah and became king in his place.
11 It happened that as soon as he became king, at the moment he sat on his throne, he killed all of the house of Baasha. He left no males among his kindred or any of his friends.
