📚 Historical Context
This prophecy came through the prophet Jehu against King Baasha of Israel around 900 BC. Baasha had killed the previous king Nadab (Jeroboam's son) and destroyed Jeroboam's entire family, but then continued in the same evil practices. God was now pronouncing the same judgment on Baasha's house that had befallen Jeroboam's dynasty.
