New International Version NIV
25 In the second year of the reign of King Asa of Judah, King Jeroboam's son Nadab became king of Israel, and he ruled for two years.
25
Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
26 Like his father before him, he sinned against the Lord and led Israel into sin.
26
He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the ways of his father and committing the same sin his father had caused Israel to commit.
27 Baasha son of Ahijah, of the tribe of Issachar, plotted against Nadab and killed him as Nadab and his army were besieging the city of Gibbethon in Philistia.
27
Baasha son of Ahijah from the tribe of Issachar plotted against him, and he struck him down at Gibbethon, a Philistine town, while Nadab and all Israel were besieging it.
28 This happened during the third year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. And so Baasha succeeded Nadab as king of Israel.
28
Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of Asa king of Judah and succeeded him as king.
29 At once he began killing all the members of Jeroboam's family. In accordance with what the Lord had said through his servant, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh, all of Jeroboam's family were killed; not one survived.
29
As soon as he began to reign, he killed Jeroboam’s whole family. He did not leave Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all, according to the word of the LORD given through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
30 This happened because Jeroboam aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by the sins that he committed and that he caused Israel to commit.
30
This happened because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he aroused the anger of the LORD, the God of Israel.
31 Everything else that Nadab did is recorded in [The History of the Kings of Israel.]
31
As for the other events of Nadab’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
32 King Asa of Judah and King Baasha of Israel were constantly at war with each other as long as they were in power.
32
There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns.
