SCRIPTURE

"Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?" — 1 Kings 16:5 (ASV)

The “might” of Baasha is sufficiently indicated by the successes that drove Asa to call Ben-hadad to his aid (1 Kings 15:17–21).
