1 Kings 15:29-34

29 As soon as he was king, he killed everyone else in Jeroboam's family. He did not spare a soul, as the LORD had spoken through his servant Ahijah from Shiloh.
30 This was because of Jeroboam's sins and the sins which he led Israel to commit. Those sins made the LORD God of Israel furious.
31 Isn't everything else about Nadab--everything he did--written in the official records of the kings of Israel?
32 There was war between Asa and Baasha as long as they lived.
33 In Asa's third year as king of Judah, Baasha, son of Ahijah, began to rule Israel in Tirzah. He ruled for 24 years.
34 He did what the LORD considered evil. He lived like Jeroboam and led Israel into committing the [same] sins.
