Verse 2 is found in chapter 16 of 1 Kings. The prophet Jehu announces judgment against Baasha because he followed Jeroboam’s path and caused Israel to sin.

The prophecy demonstrates that eliminating a condemned dynasty does not automatically make the successor righteous. Each king will be evaluated according to his own faithfulness.

Porquanto te levantei do pó, e te pus por príncipe sobre o meu povo Israel, e tu tens andado no caminho de Jeroboão, e tens feito pecar a meu povo Israel, irritando-me com os seus pecados,
「我既從塵埃中提拔你,立你作我百姓 以色列 的君王,你竟行 耶羅波安 所行的道,使我的百姓 以色列 陷入罪裏,以他們的罪惹我發怒,
