1 Kings 15:25–31

Israel’s King Nadab

²⁵Nadab son of Jeroboam ^ebecame king over Israel in the second year of Judah’s King Asa; he reigned over Israel two years. ²⁶Nadab did what was evil in the Lord’s sight and followed the example of his father and the sin he had caused Israel to commit. ^f

²⁷Then Baasha ^gson of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon ^hof the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon. ²⁸In the third year of Judah’s King Asa, ⁱBaasha killed Nadab ^jand reigned in his place.

²⁹When Baasha became king, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam. ^kHe did not leave Jeroboam any survivors but ^ldestroyed his family according to the word of the Lord He had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite. ^m30This was because Jeroboam had provoked ⁿthe Lord God of Israel by the sins he had committed and had caused Israel to commit. ^o

³¹The rest of the events of Nadab’s reign, along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings. ^p
