1	Then the word of the Lord came to Iehu the sonne of Hanani against Baasha, saying,	And the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,	Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani concerning Baasha:
2	Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, & made thee captaine ouer my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Ieroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sinne, to prouoke me with their sinnes,	“Since I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins,	“I lifted you up from the dust and appointed you ruler over my people Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and caused my people Israel to sin and to arouse my anger by their sins.
3	Beholde, I will take away the posteritie of Baasha, and the posteritie of his house, and will make thine house like the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat.	behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.	So I am about to wipe out Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
4	He that dyeth of Baashas stocke in the citie, him shal the dogs eate: and that man of him which dyeth in the fieldes, shall the foules of the ayre eate.	Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone of his who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat.”	Dogs will eat those belonging to Baasha who die in the city, and birds will feed on those who die in the country.”
5	And the rest of the actes of Baasha & what he did, & his power, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?	Now the rest of the acts of Baasha and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?	As for the other events of Baasha’s reign, what he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
