# the word of Yahweh came "Yahweh spoke this message". The prophet Jehu warned Baasha, king of Israel, that God would destroy his family for worshiping the idols. But Baasha did not change his ways; so Zimri murdered Baasha's son and all his relatives. # all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh "all the things that Baasha did that are evil in Yahweh's judgment" # so as to provoke him to anger "so as to make Yahweh very angry" # with the work of his hands "by the things Baasha had done"
