Evil North Israeli King Stink Attacks Judea
1st Kings 15:16 Border-fighting [rages] between [north] Israeli king Baasha {Stink} vs. [Judea's king] Asa as long as they both live.
1st Kings 15:17 [North] Israel's king Baasha {Stink} rises up against Judea. [Stink] fortifies Ramah {Heights}, [a mere 5 miles north of Jerusalem]. Baasha forbids anyone to leave or enter [the territory of] king Asa of Judea!
Right to travel denials stink. Your rights to travel are narrowly restricted. Did you notice that?
1st Kings 15:19 [King Asa writes to Ben-Hadad], "We're [mutually bound] by the peace-treaty between our forefathers. So look: I've sent to you a present of silver and gold. [So] go break your covenant with [northern] Israeli king Baasha {Stink}. Then he'll get away from my [land].”
1st Kings 15:21 Soon [north Israel's dictator] Baasha {Stink} hears [that his armies lie beaten]. So he stops fortifying Ramah {Heights}. He settles [back ~40km north at his palace] in Tirzah {Delight}.
1st Kings 15:22 Then king Asa makes a proclamation throughout all Judea. [Asa] invites every [Judean] man to come to Ramah {Heights} to haul away the stones and timber which [evil king] Baasha {Stink} used to construct [the evil fortress]. Then king Asa uses those [construction materials] to fortify [nearby] Geba {Hillock} [in the land] of Benjamin {Right-Hand-Son}, and Mizpah {WatchTower}.
1st Kings 15:27 Nadab {Liberal} [leads] the whole [army of northern] Israel [west to war]. They invade Philistine-land. They lay siege to Gibbethon {Hilly-Spot}. But [future king] Baasha {Stink} (the son of AhiYah {Kin-Of-Yah}) [rises] from the [tribe] of Issachar {Reward}. [Baasha] conspires against Nadab. At [Hilly-Spot, Stink] strikes Nadab.
1st Kings 15:28 (Baasha {Stink} assassinates Nadab {Liberal} in the 3rd year of [the reign of] Judea's king Asa.) So [Stink] reigns in [king] Nadab's place.
1st Kings 15:32 Border-fighting [rages] between [Judean king] Asa and [Northern] Israeli king Baasha {Stink} all their days.
1st Kings 15:33 In year #3 of [the reign of] Asa king of Judea, Baasha {Stink} (son of AhiYah {Kin-Of-Yah}) begins his 24-year reign [of terror] over all [of northern] Israel. [Stink reigns] from [his palace in] Tirzah {Delight}.
For chronology, see 2 Chr. 16:1. Some tricky dates reference the beginning of the kingdom of northern Israel.
1st Kings 15:34 [King] Baasha {Stink} wreaks ruin under YHVH's [watchful] eye. [Stink] walks in the [perverted] way[s] of [his ancestor] Jeroboam {Nation-Wrangler}. [Stink wreaks] offenses. He leads Israel to wander [into death], πŸ˜‡.
Prophet Jahu Predicts King Stinky's Demise
1st Kings 16:1 Then the word of YHVH comes [alive] in [a prophet named] JAHu {JAH-Is-He} (the son of Hanani {Gracious}). [YAH's word] condemns [north Israel's evil king] Baasha {Stink}:
1st Kings 16:3 See [the future, prophet]: I come to vaporize the descendants of Baasha {Stink}β€”the [spawn he bred to repress] his empire. I [crush Baasha's] dynasty like [I smashed] the dynasty of Nebat's brat Jeroboam {Nation-Wrangler}.
True prophets teach politicians how to rule. Pansy preachers cower beneath idiot-dictators. We true believers win because we’re not afraid to die.
1st Kings 16:5 [Scribes] summarize the rest of the [sick] acts of Baasha {Stink}, and his accomplishments, and his power, in the book of the Chronicles Of The Kings of [north] Israel, πŸ˜‡.
King Stink's Son Elah Takes Stink's Throne
1st Kings 16:6 So [north Israeli king] Baasha {Stink} sleeps [in death] beside his forefathers. [Baasha's sons] bury him in Tirzah {Delight}. Then [Stink's] brat Elah {Everlasting-Oak-Power} reigns in [Stink's] place.
1st Kings 16:7 Again the word of YHVH comes [to earth] via the hand of the prophet JAHu {JAH-Is-He} the son of Hanani {Gracious}. [YAH's word] condemns Baasha {Stink} and his dynasty. [It condemns] all the evil [Stink] wreaked in the sight of YHVH. [Stink] inflated YAH's fury with the work of his hands. [He] imitated Jeroboam's [evil royal] family. Then [he] massacred [them]!
Captain Zimri Kills King Stink's Son, Elah
1st Kings 16:8 In the 26th year of [the reign of] Asa king of Judea, Elah {Everlasting-Oak-Power} (the son of Baasha {Stink}) begins his two-year reign over [northern] Israel, [from his palace] in Tirzah {Delight}.
1st Kings 16:11 As [Captain Zimri] begins his [short] reign, as soon as he sits on his throne, he murders the whole dynasty of Baasha {Stink}! He leaves [Stink] not one son, [nor one] kinsman-redeemer, [nor one] friend to β€˜pee against a wall.’
shathan qiyr = dog-like men who pee against walls.
1st Kings 16:12 So [Captain] Zimri {Plucker} destroys the whole dynasty of Baasha {Stink}. This fulfills the prediction YHVH spoke against [King Stink] through the prophet JAHu {JAH-Is-He}.
1st Kings 16:13 [Thus YHVH punishes] all the offenses of [King] Baasha {Stink} and [Stink's] son [Prince] Elah {Everlasting-Oak-Power}. Their treacheries dragged Israel to sin. [They] pumped up the fury of YHVH Elohim of Israel with their vain [fornication, greed and idolatry].
1st Kings 21:22 I [crush] your dynasty like [I crushed] the dynasty of Nebat's brat Jeroboam {Nation-Wrangler}, and like [I crushed] the dynasty of AhiYah's imp Baasha {Stink}, because you [all] stoked up my fury. [You all] made Israel stray [into death].’
2nd Kings 9:9 β€”I make the [royal] family of Ahab [worm-food] like the [fallen royal] family of Nebat's brat Jeroboam {Nation-Wrangler}, and like the [similar] family of AhiYah's brat Baasha {Stink}.
North Israel's King Stink Attacks Judea
2nd Chronicles 16:1 In the 36th year of [Judean king] Asa's reign, [north] Israeli king Baasha {Stink} marches [his armies ~30km south] to attack Judaea. [King Stink] fortifies Ramah {Heights}, [Jerusalem's north entry route. Stink] blocks every traveler [he encounters] entering or leaving [Jerusalem, the capitol city of] king Asa of Judah.
A β€˜stinking’ denial of the right to travel. Like you experience today when you try to freely use the roads, or to cross a national border.
2nd Chronicles 16:3 [King Asa foolishly says,] β€œA league binds me and you, as it bound my father and your father. Look: I've sent you silver and gold. Go break your league with [north] Israel's king Baasha {Stink}. [Make] him retreat from [attacking] me.”
It's a big mistake to make any league with pagans. The same mistake the nation around you is making. And war will result, then as now.
2nd Chronicles 16:5 [Israeli king] Baasha {Stink} hears [he's defeated]. So he stops fortifying Ramah {Heights}. He abandons his [attack on Judea].
2nd Chronicles 16:6 Then king Asa leads all [the warriors of] Judah to Ramah {Heights}. They cart away its stones and timber. This prevents [north Israeli king] Baasha {Stink} from re-building [his fortress]. [King] Asa [uses these supplies] to build [the cities of] Geba {Hillock} and Mizpah {WatchTower}.
JeremiYAH 41:9 Now the cistern (where IshmaEl {El-Hears} throws all the dead bodies of the men he murders to [seal his overthrow of] GedaliYah) is the same [cistern which ancient] king Asa [dug] in fear [of running out of water during the attack] by [north] Israel's king Baasha {Stink}. IshmaEl [and his thugs] fill this cistern with murdered corpses, πŸ˜‡.
