Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

הִנְ⁠נִ֥י מַבְעִ֛יר אַחֲרֵ֥י בַעְשָׁ֖א וְ⁠אַחֲרֵ֣י בֵית֑⁠וֹ

here,I consume after (Some words not found in UHB: here,I consume after Baˊshāʼ and=after house_of,his and,I_will_make DOM house_of,your like,the_house_of Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) son_of Neⱱaţ )

Yahweh is speaking of Baasha in the third person, even though he is addressing him directly. He is doing that because he is making a solemn declaration. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: [I am going to destroy you and your family]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠נָֽתַתִּי֙ אֶת־בֵּ֣יתְ⁠ךָ֔ כְּ⁠בֵ֖ית יָרָבְעָ֥ם בֶּן־נְבָֽט

(Some words not found in UHB: here,I consume after Baˊshāʼ and=after house_of,his and,I_will_make DOM house_of,your like,the_house_of Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) son_of Neⱱaţ )

Yahweh is speaking of Baasha’s family as if it were a house. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠בֵ֖ית יָרָבְעָ֥ם

(Some words not found in UHB: here,I consume after Baˊshāʼ and=after house_of,his and,I_will_make DOM house_of,your like,the_house_of Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) son_of Neⱱaţ )

The point of this comparison is that just as the house of Jeroboam was completely destroyed, so Baasha’s house (that is, his family) will be completely destroyed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [completely desolate, like the house of Jeroboam] or [completely desolate, like the family of Jeroboam]
