Jehu’s Prophecy against Baasha

²“Even though I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have caused My people Israel to sin and to provoke Me to anger by their sins.³So now I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

Summary

In this verse, the prophet Elijah delivers a message from the Lord to King Baasha, condemning him for his evil actions and the provocation he caused against God. Baasha's sins, including his idolatry and the killing of Jeroboam's family, have stirred the Lord's anger, leading to the declaration of punishment upon his household. This passage serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of living in accordance with God's will to avoid His judgment.
