In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha put him to death, and became king in his place.
29
And straight away when he became king, he sent destruction on all the offspring of Jeroboam; there was not one living person of all the family of Jeroboam whom he did not put to death, so the word of the Lord, which he said by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, came about;
30
Because of the sins which Jeroboam did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath.
31

32
And there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
33
In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and was king for twenty-four years.
34
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of Jeroboam and the sin which he made Israel do.
