Also, the word of the Lord against Baasha and his house came through the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani (1 Kings 16:7)
It would appear that Jehu was a prophet for a very long time. Another prophetic word of Jehu, son of Hanani, is mentioned in 2 Chronicles chapter 19, verse 2. After speaking these prophetic words to Baasha, he next addressed Jehoshaphat, King of Judah, some fifty years later.
In addition to this, Jehu the Prophet penned a number of historical texts focusing on Israel's kings (2 Chronicles 20:34). In addition, his father Hanani is referenced in 2 Chronicles 16:7-10, where it is stated that he was persecuted and put in jail for being a faithful prophet when speaking to King Asa.
And when Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the stronghold of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire and died (1 Kings 16:18)
The Bible in no way endorses suicide. It is a sin, the sin of self-murder.
Examples of suicide in the Bible
King Saul (1 Samuel 31:4)
Saul’s armour-bearer (1 Samuel 31:1-6)
Samson (Judges 16:28-30)
Ahithophel (2 Samuel 17:23)
Judas Iscariot (Matthew 27:3-5)
The jailer attempted suicide: (Acts 16:25-31)
As if it had been a light thing for Ahab to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, he took for a wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and served Baal and worshipped him. (1 Kings 16:31)
Jezebel, Ahab's foreign wife, was a significant factor in the nation's descent into severe idolatry, much as Solomon's spiritual decline was partly caused by his marriages to foreign women. The meaning of Ethbaal is “With Baal.”
In his days, Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of the life of Abiram, his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which He spoke through Joshua, son of Nun. (1 Kings 16:34)
It appears that Ahab sought to defy Joshua's prophecy after the city's destruction and directed Hiel the Bethelite to build Jericho.
