BRAGADAYJAH 1036
The Ascent of Zimri
Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha saying, “Forasmuch as I have exalted you out of the dust, and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the ways of your father Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, and to provoke me to anger, behold I will take away your posterity, and the posterity of your house, and will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. Such of your posterity that die in the street, shall the dogs eat, and those that die in the forest shall the fowl of the air eat.”  So Baasha died and was buried at Tirzah and Elah his son reigned in his stead. 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 because of 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. It was in the twenty and sixth year of Asa’s reign did Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah. And his servant Zimri captain of half of his chariots conspired against him; and while he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah. And Zimri went in and smote him and killed him in the twenty second year of king Asa of Judah and reigned in his stead.
