And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 16 of 1 Kings. Elah succeeds Baasha, but Zimri conspires against him and exterminates Baasha’s house. The cycle of coups accelerates, and the northern dynasties become extremely unstable. The repetition of the pattern confirms the fragility of a kingdom whose succession is repeatedly based on violence and whose idolatry remains uncorrected.

Und da er König war und auf seinem Stuhl saß, schlug er das ganze Haus Baesas, und ließ nichts übrig, was männlich war, dazu seine Erben und seine Freunde.

En cuanto comenzó a reinar y se sentó en su trono, mató a toda la casa de Baasa. No dejó con vida a ningún varón suyo, ni a sus parientes ni a sus amigos.
Lorsqu'il fut roi et qu'il fut assis sur son trône, il frappa toute la maison de Baescha, il ne laissa échapper personne qui lui appartînt, ni parent ni ami.
E quando egli fu re, come prima fu assiso sopra il trono di Ela, egli percosse tutta la casa di Baasa; egli non gli lasciò in vita pur un bambino, nè parenti, nè amici.
E sucedeu que, reinando ele, e estando assentado no seu trono, feriu a toda a casa de Baasa; não lhe deixou homem algum, nem a seus parentes, nem a seus amigos.
心利 一坐上王位就殺了 巴沙 全家,連他的親屬和朋友,一個男丁也沒有留下。
