Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 16:3

16:1 Hanani - He was sent to Asa, king of Judah. But the son,who was young and more active, was sent on this longer and more dangerousexpedition to Baasha, king of Israel.

16:2 I made thee - Though that invading the kingdom was from himself,and his own wicked heart; yet the translation of the kingdom from Nadabto Baasha simply considered, was from God, who by his providencedisposed of all occasions, and of the hearts of the soldiers and people,so that Baasha should have opportunity of executing God's judgment uponNadab; nay, the very act of Baasha, the killing his masterNadab, was an act of divine justice. And if Baasha had done this inobedience to God's command, and with a single design, to execute God'svengeance threatened against him, it had been no more a sin, than Jehu'sact in killing his master king Jehoram, upon the same account,#2Kings 9:24|.But Baasha did this, merely to gratify his own pride, or covetousness,or malice, ver.#7|.
