We read at the close of the previous chapter that Jeroboam died and was succeeded by his son Nadav, who ruled for two years and followed in the evil footsteps of his father and grandfather (15: 25-26). He then became the victim of a conspiracy (<\/span>kesher<\/span><\/em>, see 15:27) that placed on the throne of the Northern Kingdom a \u201cman of Issachar\u201d named Baasha, who exacted from the House of Jeroboam the precise vengeance that had been foretold (in chapter 13) by the man of God and confirmed by Ahijah of Shiloh (chapter 14). In spite of that, \u201cHe did what was displeasing to the LORD; he followed the ways of Jeroboam and the sins which he caused Israel to commit\u201d (15:34).<\/span><\/p>\n

When our chapter opens, another prophet, Jehu ben Hanani, prophesied that Baasha is about to suffer the very same fate he meted out to Nadav and Jeroboam.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the town shall be devoured by dogs, and anyone who dies in the open country shall be eaten by the birds of the sky; for the LORD has spoken. (14:11)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the town shall be devoured by dogs, and anyone belonging to him who dies in the open country shall be devoured by the birds of the sky. (16:4)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Even conspiracy (<\/span>kesher<\/span><\/em>, see 16:9, 16, 20) struck again as Elah, Baasha\u2019s son, was slain by Zimri, one of his officers. Zimri, after exacting the prophesied vengeance on the House of Baasha, became the victim of a conspiracy himself as the people chose a general named Omri to ascend the throne. Omri besieged the royal palace at Tirzah and Zimri (to spite Omri?) burned it down about himself after ruling for just one week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Omri eventually moved his capital to Samaria (Shomron), which became an epithet for the Northern Kingdom (and remains in use to this very day to designate Jewish-held territory within the northern West Bank), and established a new dynasty whose most famous (or infamous) member, Ahab, makes his appearance just as our chapter is about to close.<\/span><\/p>\n
