Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
1Kgs.16.2
"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.
1Kgs.16.2
"I lifted you up from the dust and made you leader of my people Israel, but you walked in the ways of Jeroboam and caused my people Israel to sin and to provoke me to anger by their sins.
1Kgs.16.2
"Inasmuch as I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made My people Israel sin, to provoke Me to anger with their sins,
1Kgs.16.2
"I lifted you out of the dust to make you ruler of my people Israel, but you have followed the evil example of Jeroboam. You have aroused my anger by causing my people to sin.
1Kgs.16.3
Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1Kgs.16.3
And now the consequences--I will burn Baasha and his regime to cinders, the identical fate of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
1Kgs.16.3
So I am about to consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
1Kgs.16.3
surely I will take away the posterity of Baasha and the posterity of his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1Kgs.16.3
So now I will destroy you and your family, just as I destroyed the descendants of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
1Kgs.16.4
Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
1Kgs.16.4
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."
1Kgs.16.4
Dogs will eat those belonging to Baasha who die in the city, and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the country."
1Kgs.16.4
The dogs shall eat whoever belongs to Baasha and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the fields."
1Kgs.16.4
Those of your family who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the field will be eaten by the vultures."

1Kgs.16.7
That's the way it was with Baasha: Through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani, GOD's word came to him and his regime because of his life of open evil before GOD and his making GOD so angry--a chip off the block of Jeroboam, even though GOD had destroyed him.
1Kgs.16.7
Moreover, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani to Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger by the things he did, and becoming like the house of Jeroboam-and also because he destroyed it.

1Kgs.16.7
This message from the LORD had been spoken against Baasha and his family through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani.

1Kgs.16.11
Zimri had no sooner become king than he killed everyone connected with Baasha, got rid of them all like so many stray dogs--relatives and friends alike.

1Kgs.16.12
Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
1Kgs.16.12
Zimri totally wiped out the family of Baasha, just as GOD's word delivered by the prophet Jehu had said

For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
1Kgs.16.13
-wages for the sins of Baasha and his son Elah; not only for their sins but for dragging Israel into their sins and making the GOD of Israel angry with their stupid idols.

because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, so that they provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger by their worthless idols.

And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
1Kgs.16.16
When they got the report, "Zimri has conspired against the king and killed him," right there in the camp they made Omri, commander of the army, king.
1Kgs.16.16

1Kgs.16.16
heard that Zimri had assassinated the king, they chose Omri, commander of the army, as their new king.
1Kgs.16.17

1Kgs.16.19
For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
1Kgs.16.19
It was a fit end for his sins, for living a flagrantly evil life before GOD, walking in the footsteps of Jeroboam, sinning and then dragging Israel into his sins.
1Kgs.16.19
because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the eyes of the LORD and walking in the ways of Jeroboam and in the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.

because of the sins which he had committed in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he had committed to make Israel sin.

After that the people of Israel were split right down the middle: Half favored Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half wanted Omri.

1Kgs.16.22
Eventually the Omri side proved stronger than the Tibni side. Tibni ended up dead and Omri king.

For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
1Kgs.16.26
He walked in the footsteps of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who not only sinned but dragged Israel into his sins, making GOD angry--such an empty-headed, empty-hearted life!
