So I am ready to burn up Baasha and his family, and make your family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat.

With the stones he constructed an altar for the Lord. Around the altar he made a trench large enough to contain two seahs of seed.

I will make your dynasty like those of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah because you angered me and made Israel sin.’

The prophet Jehu son of Hanani received from the Lord the message predicting the downfall of Baasha and his family because of all the evil Baasha had done in the sight of the Lord. His actions angered the Lord (including the way he had destroyed Jeroboam’s dynasty), so that his family ended up like Jeroboam’s.
