And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar,conspired against him; and Baashasmote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
28
Even in the thirdyear of Asaking of Judah did Baashaslay him, and reigned in his stead.
29
And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spakeby his servantAhijah the Shilonite:
30
Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israelsin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORDGod of Israel to anger.
31
Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chroniclesof the kings of Israel?
In this chapter we have a short history of the reign of Abijam, 1Ki 15:1-8 and of Asa, 1Ki 14:9-24, both kings of Judah; and of the reigns of Nadab the son of Jeroboam, and of Baasha, who destroyed his family, both kings of Israel, 1Ki 15:25-34.
