1 Kings 15:29-34

29 It came about as soon as he was king, he struck down all the household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam any persons alive, until he had destroyed them, 1according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30 and because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and 2which he made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
31 3Now the rest of the acts of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles * of the Kings of Israel?

War with Judah

32 4There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel at Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four * years.
34 He did evil in the sight of the LORD, and 5walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel sin.
