Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Kings 16:7

_ _ also by the hand of the prophet Jehu — This is not another prophecy, but merely an addition by the sacred historian, explanatory of the death of Baasha and the extinction of his family. The doom pronounced against Jeroboam (1 Kings 14:9), did not entitle him to take the execution of the sentence into his own hands; but from his following the same calf-worship, he had evidently plotted the conspiracy and murder of that king in furtherance of his own ambitious designs; and hence, in his own assassination, he met the just reward of his deeds. The similitude to Jeroboam extends to their deaths as well as their lives — the reign of their sons, and the ruin of their families.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Kings 16:1-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 16:7

Came, &c. — The meaning is, the message which came from the Lord to Jehu, 1 Kings 16:1, &c. was here delivered by the hand, the ministry of Jehu, unto Baasha. Jehu did what God commanded him in this matter, tho' it was not without apparent hazard to himself.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(c) That is, the prophet did his message.

And it came to pass, when he reigned, [that] he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
2 Kings 10:30-31 And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing [that which is] right in mine eyes, [and] hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that [was] in mine heart, thy children of the fourth [generation] shall sit on the throne of Israel. ...
