He was from the tribe of Issachar and came to power by overthrowing and assassinating King Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, during a military campaign against the Philistine city of Gibbethon (<a href="/1_kings/15-27.htm">1 Kings 15:27-28</a>). Baasha's rise to power marked a significant shift in the ruling dynasty of Israel, as he established his own line after the demise of Jeroboam's house.<br><br><b>Reign and Actions</b><br><br>Baasha's reign is characterized by his efforts to consolidate power and secure his kingdom against external threats. He continued the war against the southern kingdom of Judah, which had been initiated by his predecessors. To fortify his position, Baasha fortified the city of Ramah, located on the border between Israel and Judah, to control access and exert pressure on Asa, the king of Judah (<a href="/1_kings/15-17.htm">1 Kings 15:17</a>).<br><br>Despite his political and military maneuvers, Baasha's reign was marked by spiritual failure. He perpetuated the idolatrous practices established by Jeroboam, leading Israel into sin. The prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, delivered a message from the LORD condemning Baasha for his actions and prophesying the destruction of his house, similar to the fate of Jeroboam's lineage (<a href="/1_kings/16.htm">1 Kings 16:1-4</a>).<br><br><b>Prophetic Judgment and Legacy</b><br><br>The prophetic judgment against Baasha was fulfilled during the reign of his son, Elah. Baasha's entire household was exterminated by Zimri, one of his military commanders, who conspired against Elah and seized the throne (<a href="/1_kings/16-8.htm">1 Kings 16:8-13</a>). This violent end to Baasha's dynasty underscored the divine retribution for his idolatry and disobedience.<br><br>Baasha's legacy is a cautionary tale of the consequences of leading a nation away from the worship of the LORD. His reign, though politically significant, is overshadowed by his failure to adhere to the covenantal standards set forth for the kings of Israel. His actions contributed to the spiritual decline of the northern kingdom, setting a precedent for subsequent rulers who continued in idolatry and rebellion against God.<br><br><b>References in Scripture</b><br><br>Baasha's account is primarily recorded in the First Book of Kings, chapters 15 and 16. His interactions with the prophet Jehu and his conflict with Asa of Judah are significant events that highlight the political and spiritual dynamics of his reign. The account of Baasha serves as a reminder of the importance of faithfulness to God and the dire consequences of leading a nation into sin.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Baasha</span><p>he that seeks, or lays waste<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Baasha</span><p>(<i>wicked</i>), B.C. 953-931, third sovereign of the separate kingdom of Israel, and the founder of its second dynasty.
