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.

Verse 7 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. Although Baasha had destroyed the previous house, he himself does not receive divine approval for his conduct. 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.

Auch kam das Wort des HERRN durch den Propheten Jehu, den Sohn Hananis, über Baesa und über sein Haus und wider alles Übel, das er tat vor dem HERRN, ihn zu erzürnen durch die Werke seiner Hände, daß es würde wie das Haus Jerobeam, und darum daß er dieses geschlagen hatte.
Empero la palabra de Jehová por mano de Jehú profeta, hijo de Hanani, había sido contra Baasa y también contra su casa, con motivo de todo lo malo que hizo a los ojos de Jehová, provocándole a ira con las obras de sus manos, para que fuese hecha como la casa de Jeroboam; y porque lo había herido.
La parole de l'Eternel s'était manifestée par le prophète Jéhu, fils de Hanani, contre Baescha et contre sa maison, soit à cause de tout le mal qu'il avait fait sous les yeux de l'Eternel, en l'irritant par l'oeuvre de ses mains et en devenant semblable à la maison de Jéroboam, soit parce qu'il avait frappé la maison de Jéroboam.
Ora il Signore avea parlato per lo profeta Iehu, figliuolo di Hanani, contro a Baasa, e contro alla sua casa, così per cagione di tutto il male ch’egli avea commesso davanti al Signore, dispettandolo con le opere delle sue mani; dinunziandogli ch’ella sarebbe come la casa di Geroboamo; come anche perciocchè egli l’avea percossa.
Assim veio também a palavra do SENHOR, pelo ministério do profeta Jeú, filho de Hanani, contra Baasa e contra a sua casa; e isso por todo o mal que fizera aos olhos do SENHOR, irritando-o com a obra de suas mãos, para ser como a casa de Jeroboão; e porque o havia ferido.
耶和華的話臨到 哈拿尼 的兒子 耶戶 先知,責備 巴沙 和他的家,因他行耶和華眼中看為惡的一切事,以他手所做的惹耶和華發怒,像 耶羅波安 的家一樣,又因他殺了 耶羅波安 全家。
