27
1Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha struck him down at 2Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
28
So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah and reigned in his place.
29
And as soon as he was king, he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He left to the house of Jeroboam not one that breathed, until he had destroyed it, 3according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
30
It was for the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned and 4that he made Israel to sin, and because of the anger to which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel.
31
Now 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?
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.
