1 Kings 16:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ Zimri entered Arza’s house, attacked Elah, and killed him in Asa’s twenty-seventh year as king of Judah. Zimri succeeded Elah as king ⌞of Israel⌟. ¹¹ At the beginning of Zimri’s reign, as soon as he was on his throne, he killed Baasha’s entire family. He didn’t spare any of Baasha’s male ^[a] relatives or friends. ¹² So Zimri destroyed Baasha’s entire family, as the Lord had spoken through the prophet Jehu.
