Context of 1 Kings 15:32

30This was because Jeroboam had angered the Lord God of Israel by the sins he had committed and had caused Israel to commit. 31The rest of the events of Nadab’s reign, along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings. There was war between Asa and King Baasha of Israel throughout their reigns. 33In the third year of Judah’s King Asa, Baasha son of Ahijah became king over all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years. 34He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight and walked in the ways of Jeroboam and the sin he had caused Israel to commit.
