1 Kings 15:23-26

23 Everything else that King Asa did, his brave deeds and the towns he fortified, are all recorded in [The History of the Kings of Judah.] But in his old age he was crippled by a foot disease.

24 Asa died and was buried in the royal tombs in David's City, and his son Jehoshaphat succeeded him as king.

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.

26 Like his father before him, he sinned against the Lord and led Israel into sin.
