Exegesis
The coordination we-al-asher-hikah-oto {וְעַל אֲשֶׁר־הִכָּ֖ה אֹתֽוֹ | wə-‘al ’ă-šer hî-kkāh ’ō-tô} cites Baasha’s act of striking down the dynasty as an additional basis for judgment. The layered construct chains, relative clauses, and infinitival purposes build a cumulative legal rationale for divine retribution.
In context — 1 Kings 16:7
And also by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani the prophet, the word of the LORD came against Baasha and his house for all the evil that he had done in the eyes of the LORD in provoking Him with the work of his hands, in becoming like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck it down.
