1 Kings 16:6

1 Kings 16:6 -

So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tizrzah [cf. 1 Kings 15:21 , 1 Kings 15:33 . This place is twice mentioned as his residence], and Elah his son reigned in his stead . [It is perhaps more than a mere coincidence that this uncommon name, Elah ("terebinth," see note on 1 Kings 13:14 ), is also the name of the great valley ( 1 Samuel 17:2 , 1 Samuel 17:19 ; 1 Samuel 21:9 ) near to Gibbethon, where Baasha was proclaimed king.]
