5The 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. His son Elah became king in his place.

7Through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani, the word of Yahweh also came against Baasha and his house, both because of all the evil he had done in Yahweh's sight—provoking him to anger by the work of his hands and becoming like the house of Jeroboam—and because he had destroyed Jeroboam's house.
