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.
