1 Kings 15:27-31
1599 Geneva Bible
27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha slew him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
29 And when he was king, he [a]smote all the house of Jeroboam, he left none alive to Jeroboam, until he had destroyed him, according to the (A)word of the Lord which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he committed, and wherewith he made Israel to sin, by his [b]provocation, wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.
31 And the residue of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
