1 Kings 16:11-13

International Children’s Bible

Zimri King of Israel

¹¹ As soon as Zimri became king, he killed all of Baasha’s family. He did not let any man of Baasha’s family or friends live. ¹² So Zimri destroyed all of Baasha’s family. This happened as the Lord had said it would. The Lord had spoken this against Baasha through the prophet Jehu. ¹³ This happened because of all the sins of Baasha and his son Elah. They sinned and caused the people of Israel to sin. They also made the Lord, the God of Israel, angry because they had made worthless idols.
