1 Kings 15:23-26

23 Everything else Asa did -- his victories and the cities he built -- is written in the book of the history of the kings of Judah. When he became old, he got a disease in his feet.

24 After Asa died, he was buried with his ancestors in Jerusalem, the city of David, his ancestor. Then Jehoshaphat, Asa's son, became king in his place.

25 Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel during the second year Asa was king of Judah. Nadab was king of Israel for two years,

26 and he did what the Lord said was wrong. Jeroboam had led the people of Israel to sin, and Nadab sinned in the same way as his father Jeroboam.
