Contextual Overview
1 The word of Adonai came to Yehu the son of Hanani against Ba‘sha: 2 "I raised you up out of the dust and made you prince over my people Isra'el. But you have lived in the same way as Yarov‘am and caused my people Isra'el to sin, so that their sinning has made me angry. 3 Therefore I will sweep away Ba‘sha and his house completely; I will make your house like the house of Yarov‘am the son of N'vat. 4 If someone from the line of Ba‘sha dies in the city, the dogs will eat him; if he dies in the countryside, the vultures will eat him." 5 Other activities of Ba‘sha, his accomplishments and his power are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Isra'el. 6 Ba‘sha slept with his ancestors, and Elah his son became king in his place. 7 Through the prophet Yehu the son of Hanani the word of Adonai was proclaimed against Ba‘sha and his house both because he did so much evil from Adonai 's perspective, angering him with his actions and becoming like the house of Yarov‘am, and because he killed [Nadav]. 8 It was in the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Y'hudah that Elah the son of Ba‘sha began his reign over all Isra'el in Tirtzah, and he ruled for two years. 9 His servant Zimri, commander of half of his chariots, plotted against him. Finally, one time when Elah was in Tirtzah, drinking himself senseless in the house of Artza, administrator of the palace in Tirtzah, 10 Zimri entered, struck him down and killed him. This was in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Y'hudah; Zimri then took Elah's place as king.
