1Ki 16:9-10 | MHM | STEP | v. 9–10 : The prophecy was fulfilled when Baasha’s son Elah became king. Like Jeroboam’s son Nadab, Elah only ruled for two years before he was killed by Zimri, one of his own soldiers. Unlike Nadab, who died in battle, Elah was killed while getting drunk in his servant’s house (1 Kings 16:9-10 ). This is a warning to those who drink to excess. Death can come suddenly, especially when someone is drunk and unprepared. As Jesus warned, that day comes upon them unawares (Luke 21:34 ).
