And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
1 Kings 16:7 — KJV
Of the prophet. This verse at first glance may seem to be out of place. The official record of Baasha’s reign has been concluded by the announcement in the preceding verse of his death and burial, and the accession of his son. But now the account goes back again to Baasha’s reign, referring once more to the message of Jehu against Baasha and his house. This additional statement was probably made for the purpose of driving home the particular heinousness of Baasha’s offense.
Like the house of Jeroboam. Baasha had wiped out the house of Jeroboam, yet he himself was no better. He walked in the same wicked ways that had caused the punishment to be meted out against the house he overthrow.
