Context of 1 Kings 15:30

28Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of King Asa’s reign in Judah, and he became the next king of Israel. 29He immediately slaughtered all the descendants of King Jeroboam, so that not one of the royal family was left, just as the Lord had promised concerning Jeroboam by the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh. This was done because Jeroboam had provoked the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by the sins he had committed and the sins he had led Israel to commit. 31The rest of the events in Nadab’s reign and everything he did are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Israel. 32There was constant war between King Asa of Judah and King Baasha of Israel.

Observe the ruin of the family of Jeroboam; no word of God shall fall to the ground. Divine threatenings are not designed merely to terrify.
