11As soon as Zimri became king and took his throne, he struck down the entire house of Baasha. He left no male of Baasha's family alive, nor any of Baasha's kinsmen or friends.

12So Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, in fulfillment of the word Yahweh had spoken against Baasha through Jehu the prophet.

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

14The rest of the acts of Elah and all that he did—are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
