1 Kings 16:1–7 God’s judgment would come upon Baasha and his house (v. 3; see v. 11) both because of his being like the house of Jeroboam and because he destroyed Jeroboam’s house (v. 7; see 15:29). The fact that God had decided that Jeroboam’s house should be destroyed did not release Baasha from moral responsibility for his actions.
1 Kings 16:11 he struck down all the house of Baasha. Zimri in turn fulfills the word of the prophet Jehu (v. 7), although he then reigns for only seven days (v. 15).
1 Kings 16:14 Chronicles of the Kings (also vv. 20, 27). See note on 14:19.
1 Kings 16:21–24 Omri emerges from the civil war as king.
1 Kings 16:24 The only recorded events of Omri’s reign are the purchase of the hill of Samaria and the building of a new northern capital on it. However, Omri’s descendants would hold the throne for more than a hundred years. The northern kingdom became so identified with this dynasty that Assyrian records referred to Israel as “the land of Omri.”
1 Kings 16:31–33 went and served Baal and worshiped him . . . made an Asherah. The Israelite king Ahab, son of Omri, added to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat by marrying a foreign woman, Jezebel. She inevitably led him into the worship of Baal. Baal is a title (meaning “lord”) for the ancient Semitic god Hadad. Hadad was considered to be a storm god. The fertility of the land depended on his sending rain.
1 Kings 16:34 Hiel . . . built Jericho. . . . at the cost of Abiram his firstborn, and . . . his youngest son Segub. Joshua had pronounced a curse on anyone who might rebuild Jericho (Josh. 6:26). The author(s) of 1–2 Kings understand this curse as the prophetic word of the Lord. Although the text does not say specifically how the two sons of Hiel died, it is possible he offered them in sacrifice, or that they died as a special judgment from God, in fulfillment of Joshua’s curse.
