Baasha

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Baasha

Issacharite king of Israel. He killed Nadab, the son of Jeroboam I, at the Philistine town of Gibbethron, and became king (about 909–886 BC), afterwards killing the other members of Jeroboam's family. He pursued an energetic policy against Asa, King of Judah.

By building Ramah he hoped to cut off Jerusalem from the outer world, but Asa procured the help of Syria. Baasha was buried at Tirzah, the royal residence. (1 Kings 15:27–16:7.)
