THE MESSAGE
The word of God came to Jehu son of Hanani with this message for Baasha: "I took you from nothing—a complete nobody—and set you up as the leader of my people Israel, but you plodded along in the rut of Jeroboam, making my people Israel sin and making me seethe over their sin. And now the consequences—I will burn Baasha and his regime to cinders, the identical fate of Jeroboam son of Nebat. Baasha's people who die in the city will be eaten by scavenger dogs; carrion crows will eat the ones who die in the country."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani,.... The seer that reproved Asa, 2 Chronicles 16:7, so that this man was the son of a prophet then living, and was a young man; for we hear of him several years after reproving Jehoshaphat, 2 Chronicles 19:2, and as a writer of history, 2 Chronicles 20:34, the prophecy that came to him from the Lord was

against Baasha; king of Israel:

saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hanani, the father of Jehu, was seer to Asa in the kingdom of Judah 2 Chronicles 16:7-10. His son Jehu, who here discharges the same office in the kingdom of Israel, appears at a later date as an inhabitant of Jerusalem where he prophesied under Jehoshaphat, whom he rebuked on one occasion. He must have lived to a great age, for he outlived Jehoshaphat, and wrote his life (marginal references).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVI

Jehu the prophet denounces the destruction of Baasha,1-7.

Zimri conspires against him, and slays him and his family, and

reigns seven days, 8-15.

The people make Omri king, and besiege Zimri in Tirzah; who,

finding no way to escape, sets fire to his palace, and consumes

himself in it, 16-20.

The people are divided, half following Tibni, and half Omri;

the latter faction overcomes the former, Tibni is slain, and

Omri reigns alone, 21-23.

He founds Samaria, 24.

His bad character and death, 25-28.

Ahab reigns in his stead; marries Jezebel, restores idolatry,

and exceeds his predecessors in wickedness, 29-33.

Hiel the Beth-elite rebuilds Jericho, 34.

NOTES ON CHAP. XVI

Verse 1 Kings 16:1. Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu — Of this prophet we know nothing but from this circumstance. It appears from 2 Chronicles 16:7-10, that his father Hanani was also a prophet, and suffered imprisonment in consequence of the faithful discharge of his ministry to Asa.
