به سبب گناه بعشا علیه خداوند، پیام خداوند به ییهوی نبی، پسر حنانی علیه بعشا آمد. او خشم خداوند را برانگیخت نه تنها به دلیل کارهای پلید خود، که مانند یربعام پادشاه رفتار کرد و بلکه همچنین بهخاطر کشتار همهٔ خاندان یربعام.
And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
