At the time Baasha became the new king, he killed everyone in Jeroboam’s family. Baasha left no person in Jeroboam’s family alive. This happened the way the Lord said it would. The Lord spoke through his servant Ahijah from Shiloh.
Your family will be the same as the family of King Jeroboam son of Nebat. And your family will become like the family of King Baasha. Both of these families were completely destroyed. I will do this to you because you have made me angry. You have caused the people of Israel to sin.’
So Jehu killed all the people in Ahab’s family living in Jezreel. Jehu killed all the important men, close friends, and priests. None of Ahab’s people were left alive.
