- because he killed him:
- This the Vulgate understands of Jehu the prophet; some think Baasha is intended; others Nadab the son of Jeroboam; and others Jeroboam, whom Baasha destroyed in his posterity by cruelly murdering them all. "Moreover the LORDª shall raise him upª° a kingª over¹ Israel,ª who¹ shall cut offª°¹ the houseª of Jeroboamª that¹ day:ª but what?¹ even¹ now.¹" {1Kg 14:14} + "And Baashaª the sonª of Ahijah,ª of the houseª of Issachar,ª conspiredª° against¹ him; and Baashaª smoteª° him at Gibbethon,ª which¹ [belonged] to the Philistines;ª for Nadabª and all¹ Israelª laid siegeª° to¹ Gibbethon.ª ... And it came to pass,¹ when he reigned,ª° [that] he smoteª°¹ all¹ the houseª of Jeroboam;ª he leftª° not¹ to Jeroboamª any¹ that breathed,ª until¹ he had destroyedª° him, according unto the sayingª of the LORD,ª which¹ he spakeª° byª his servantª Ahijahª the Shilonite:ª" {1Kg 15:27-29} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Jehu,ª Because¹¹ thou hast done wellª° in executingª° [that which is] rightª in mine eyes,ª [and] hast doneª° unto the houseª of Ahabª according to all¹ that¹ [was] in mine heart,ª thy childrenª of the fourthª [generation] shall sitª° on¹ the throneª of Israel.ª ... But Jehuª took no heedª°¹ to walk²°¹ in the lawª of the LORDª Godª of Israelª with all¹ his heart:ª for he departedª° not¹ from¹¹ the sinsª of Jeroboam,ª which¹ made¹ Israelª to sin.ª°" {2Kg 10:30-31} + "I will sendª° him against an hypocriticalª nation,ª and against¹ the peopleª of my wrathª will I give him a charge,ª° to takeª° the spoil,ª and to takeª° the prey,ª and to tread them downª²° like the mireª of the streets.ª ... Howbeit he¹ meanethª° not¹ so,¹ neither¹ doth his heartª thinkª° so;¹ but¹ [it is] in his heartª to destroyª° and cut offª° nationsª not¹ a few.ª" {Isa 10:6-7} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ him, Callª° his nameª Jezreel;ª for¹ yet¹ a littleª [while], and I will avengeª°¹ the bloodª of Jezreelª upon¹ the houseª of Jehu,ª and will cause to ceaseª° the kingdomª of the houseª of Israel.ª" {Hsa 1:4} + "Him,ª being deliveredª by the¹ determinateª° counselª andª foreknowledgeª of God,ª ye have taken,ª° and byª wickedª handsª have crucifiedª° and slain:ª°" {Act 2:23} + "Forª ofª a truthª againstª thyª holyª childª Jesus,ª whomª thou hast anointed,ª° bothª Herod,ª andª Pontiusª Pilate,ª withª the Gentiles,ª andª the peopleª of Israel,ª were gathered together,ª° ... For to doª° whatsoeverª thyª handª andª thyª counselª determined beforeª° to be done.ª°" {Act 4:27-28}
