Where else “navi” appearsword
What someone says or announces, above all what YHWH says.
Where else “devar” appearsYHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.
Where else “yehva” appearsbecome
To turn into something new, or fall upon someone.
Where else “haya” appearsBaasha
Baasha: a name of uncertain meaning. It is the man of Issachar who conspired against Nadab, wiped out the house of Jeroboam and reigned twenty-four years over Israel (1 Kings 15:27–16:7).

Where else “maase” appearsJeroboam
Jeroboam: the name of two kings of Israel: Jeroboam son of Nebat, first king of the ten northern tribes (1 Kings 11–14), and Jeroboam son of Joash, much later (2 Kings 14:23-29).
Where else “yaravam” appearsstrike dead
To strike dead, kill.
Where else “hika” appears“And because he struck him”: the Hebrew says only “him.” The most natural reading is that it refers to the house of Jeroboam (or to his son Nadab), which Baasha killed (1 Kings 15:27-29): Baasha did the same as Jeroboam and, besides, was guilty of that slaughter.
6Baasha lay down with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.
7 · This verse (above)
