11 Ug nahitabo sa nagsugod siya sa paghari, sa diha nga naglingkod siya sa trono, nga iyang gipamatay ang tibook balay ni Baasa; walay gibilin nga usa ka bata nga lalake, wala bisan sa iyang mga kaubanan, bisan sa iyang mga higala?

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

he slew: 1 Kings 15:29, Judges 1:7

he left him: 1 Kings 14:10, 1 Samuel 25:22, 1 Samuel 25:34

neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends: or, both his kinsmen and his friends

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 16:3 - will make thy house 1 Kings 21:22 - make thine 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house 2 Kings 10:11 - he left

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne,.... Perhaps the very first day,

that he slew all the house of Baasha; his whole family, all the children that he had, that there might be none to make pretensions to the throne:

he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks nor of his friends; not any that might avenge the blood of his family, that might have a right or inclination to do it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends - Zimri’s measures were of much more than ordinary severity. Not only was the royal family extirpated, but the friends of the king, his councillors and favorite officers, were put to death. Omri, as having been in the confidence of the late monarch, would naturally fear for himself, and resolve to take the course which promised him at least a chance of safety.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 16:11. He slew all the house of Baasha — He endeavoured to exterminate his race, and blot out his memory; and the Jews say, when such a matter is determined, they not only destroy the house of the person himself, but the five neighbouring houses, that the memory of such a person may perish from the earth.
