1 Kings 15:27-34
27Baasha son of Ahijah, from the tribe of Issachar, conspired against Nadab and assassinated him in Gibbethon, which was in Philistine territory. This happened while Nadab and all the Israelite army were besieging Gibbethon.
28Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah and replaced him as king.
29When he became king, he executed Jeroboam’s entire family. He wiped out everyone who breathed, just as the Lord had predicted through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
30This happened because of the sins which Jeroboam committed and which he made Israel commit. These sins angered the Lord God of Israel.
31The rest of the events of Nadab’s reign, including all his accomplishments, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Israel.
32Asa and King Nadab of Israel were continually at war with each other.
33In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king over all Israel in Tirzah; he ruled for twenty-four years.
34He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he followed in Jeroboam’s footsteps and encouraged Israel to sin.
