God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 15:25-31
25Nadab, son of Jeroboam, began to rule Israel in Asa’s second year as king of Judah. He ruled for two years.
26He did what the Lord considered evil, living as his father did, leading Israel into the same sins.
27Then Baasha, son of Ahijah from the tribe of Issachar, plotted against Nadab. Baasha assassinated him in the Philistine city of Gibbethon while Nadab and the Israelite forces were attacking it.
28The assassination happened in Asa’s third year as king of Judah. Baasha succeeded Nadab as king of Israel.
29As soon as he was king, he killed everyone else in Jeroboam’s family. He did not spare a soul, as the Lord had spoken through his servant Ahijah from Shiloh.
30This was because of Jeroboam’s sins and the sins which he led Israel to commit. Those sins made the Lord God of Israel furious.
31Isn’t everything else about Nadab—everything he did—written in the official records of the kings of Israel?
