Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Basha, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of kingship and rebellion against God can be explored through Greek terms related to leadership and sin.

Usage: Basha is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a king of Israel who reigned during the divided monarchy period. Basha is known for his role in the political and military history of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: Basha was the third king of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, succeeding Nadab, the son of Jeroboam. He came to power by assassinating Nadab and exterminating the house of Jeroboam, fulfilling the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite. Basha reigned for 24 years and was known for his military campaigns against the Southern Kingdom of Judah. His reign is marked by political instability and idolatry, as he continued the sinful practices of Jeroboam, leading Israel further away from the worship of Yahweh.
