1 KINGS 15:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:”
And as soon as he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite — Baasha systematically exterminates Jeroboam's house, fulfilling Ahijah's ancient prophecy (1 Kings 14:10-11). The phrase וַיַּךְ אֶת־כָּל־בֵּית יָרְבְּעָם (he smote all the house of Jeroboam) shows total annihilation. The phrase כִּדְבַר־יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר בְּיַד־אַחִיָּה הַשִּׁלוֹנִי (according to the saying of the LORD which he spoke by Ahijah) demonstrates that divine judgment, spoken decades before, is now executed through Baasha's violent hand.
