Commentary for I Kings 16:7
וְגַ֡ם בְּיַד־יֵה֨וּא בֶן־חֲנָ֜נִי הַנָּבִ֗יא דְּבַר־יְהוָ֡ה הָיָה֩ אֶל־בַּעְשָׁ֨א וְאֶל־בֵּית֜וֹ וְעַ֥ל כָּל־הָרָעָ֣ה ׀ אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֣ה ׀ בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה לְהַכְעִיסוֹ֙ בְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָדָ֔יו לִהְי֖וֹת כְּבֵ֣ית יָרָבְעָ֑ם וְעַ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־הִכָּ֖ה אֹתֽוֹ׃ (פ)
And moreover by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasa, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him.
Rashi on I Kings
Also, in the hand of Yeihu the son of Chanoni the prophet, there was a word of Adonoy concerning Bashah. I.e., behold Eilah son of Bashah reigned, nevertheless, the word of Adonoy through Yeihu was that his kingdom would not last.1This verse is a continuation of Yeihu’s prophecy contained in v.1-4 above, therefore it begins with “Also.”—Metzudas Dovid

Rashi on I Kings
And because he had killed him [Nodov]. Since he too, committed the same sins, consequently he should not have killed him, therefore he was punished for his murder. And similarly we find, “And I will avenge the blood of Yizre’el upon the house of Yeihu,”2Hoshe’a 1:4. because they did not turn away from Achov’s ways, they were punished for his murder.
