1 Kings 15:25-31

Christian Standard Bible

Israel’s King Nadab

²⁵ Nadab son of Jeroboam^(A) became king over Israel in the second year of Judah’s King Asa; he reigned over Israel two years. ²⁶ Nadab did what was evil in the Lord’s sight and walked in the ways of his father and the sin he had caused Israel to commit.^(B)

²⁷ Then Baasha^(C) son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon^(D) of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon. ²⁸ In the third year of Judah’s King Asa,^(E) Baasha killed Nadab^(F) and reigned in his place.

²⁹ When Baasha became king, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam.^(G) He did not leave Jeroboam any survivors but^[a] destroyed his family according to the word of the Lord he had spoken through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.^{(H) 30} This was because Jeroboam had angered^[b] the Lord God of Israel by the sins he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.^(I)

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