1 Kings 15:27-31
Christian Standard Bible
27 Then Baasha(A) son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon(B) of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon. 28 In the third year of Judah’s King Asa,(C) Baasha killed Nadab(D) and reigned in his place.
29 When Baasha became king, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam.(E) 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.(F) 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.(G)
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.(H)

New English Translation
27 Baasha son of Ahijah, from the tribe of Issachar, conspired against Nadab[a] and assassinated him in Gibbethon, which was in Philistine territory. This happened while Nadab and all the Israelite army were besieging Gibbethon. 28 Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah and replaced him as king. 29 When he became king, he executed Jeroboam’s entire family.[b] He wiped out[c] everyone who breathed, in keeping with the Lord’s message that he had spoken through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite. 30 This happened because of the sins which Jeroboam committed and which he made Israel commit. These sins angered the Lord God of Israel.[d]
31 The 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.[e]
