1 Raja-raja 16:13

Hukuman itu diberikan karena dosa Baesa dan Ela yang menyebabkan umat Israel ikut berdosa dengan menyembah berhala-berhala sehingga membangkitkan amarah TUHAN Allah Israel.

For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
