Usage: Basha is used as a proper name for a king of Israel in the Old Testament. Context: Basha was the third king of the northern kingdom of Israel, succeeding Nadab, the son of Jeroboam. He reigned for 24 years, from approximately 909 to 886 BC. Basha came to power by assassinating Nadab during a military campaign against the Philistine city of Gibbethon. After seizing the throne, he exterminated the entire house of Jeroboam, fulfilling the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite (1 Kings 15:27-29). Basha's reign was marked by continual warfare with Asa, the king of Judah. He fortified the city of Ramah to control access to Jerusalem, but Asa countered by forming an alliance with Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, which forced Basha to abandon his project (1 Kings 15:16-22). Basha's actions and policies were condemned by the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, who foretold the destruction of his dynasty (1 Kings 16:1-4). Basha was succeeded by his son Elah, but his dynasty was short-lived, as Elah was assassinated by Zimri, one of his officials, after only two years on the throne (1 Kings 16:8-10). Basha's story is primarily recorded in 1 Kings 15:16-34 and 1 Kings 16:1-7.
