Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD which he spake against Baasha by Hanani the prophet — The narrator explicitly connects Zimri's purge to God's word through Jehu the prophet, showing divine sovereignty even through a usurper's violence. The phrase shows a pattern: God's prophetic word directs history, but human agents carry out the consequences of covenant violation. Zimri is the instrument of judgment.
