1 Kings 16:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ The rest of the story about Baasha and the great things he did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Israel. ⁶ Baasha died and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah became the new king after him.

⁷ That book also has the story of the time the Lord gave the message to Jehu the prophet about Baasha and his family. Baasha did many things the Lord said were wrong, just as Jeroboam and his family had done. This and the fact that Baasha had killed everyone in Jeroboam’s family made the Lord very angry.
