So I am ready to bring disaster<n id="1" /> on the dynasty<n id="2" /> of Jeroboam. I will cut off every last male belonging to Jeroboam in Israel, including even the weak and incapacitated.<n id="3" /> I will burn up the dynasty of Jeroboam, just as one burns manure until it is completely consumed.<n id="4" />

The prophet Jehu son of Hanani received from the <sc>Lordsc> the message predicting the downfall of Baasha and his family because of all the evil Baasha had done in the sight of the <sc>Lordsc>.<n id="1" /> His actions angered the <sc>Lordsc> (including the way he had destroyed Jeroboam&#8217;s dynasty), so that his family ended up like Jeroboam&#8217;s.<n id="2" />p>

The king of Israel summoned all the leaders<n id="1" /> of the land and said, &#8220;Notice how this man is looking for trouble.<n id="2" /> Indeed, he demanded my wives, sons, silver, and gold, and I did not resist him.&#8221;

The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, &#8220;There is still one man through whom we can seek the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s will.<n id="1" /> But I despise<n id="2" /> him because he does not prophesy prosperity for me, but disaster. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah.<n id="3" /> Jehoshaphat said, &#8220;The king should not say such things.&#8221;
