    1In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha, the king of Israel, came against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from entering or leaving King Asa of Judah.

    2Asa took silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the king's palace and sent them to Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, who resided in Damascus, with this message:

    3'Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. I am sending you silver and gold. Now, break your treaty with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.'

    4Ben-Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storehouse cities of Naphtali.

    5When Baasha heard about it, he stopped fortifying Ramah and ceased his work.

    6Then King Asa mobilized all Judah. They carried away the stones and timber Baasha had used to fortify Ramah, and Asa used them to fortify Geba and Mizpah.

    7At that time, Hanani the seer came to King Asa of Judah and said to him, 'Because you relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.'

    1The word of the Lord came to Jehu, son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying:

    2Because I raised you up from the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, but you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and led My people Israel into sin, provoking Me to anger with their sins,

    3behold, I will sweep away Baasha and his family, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat.

    4Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and anyone who dies in the field, the birds of the heavens will eat.

    5Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

    6Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah. And his son Elah reigned in his place.

    7Moreover, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the Lord, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands, being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he destroyed it.

    8In the twenty-sixth year of Asa, king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king over Israel in Tirzah, and he reigned for two years.

    9Then his servant Zimri, commander of half the chariots, conspired against him. Elah was in Tirzah at the home of Arza, who was over the household, drinking himself drunk.

    10Zimri came in, struck him down, and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

    11As soon as Zimri began to reign and sat on his throne, he struck down the entire household of Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether relative or friend.

    12So Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu.

    13This happened because of all the sins of Baasha and the sins of his son Elah, which they committed and led Israel to commit, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.
