1 Kings 15:27-31
Holman 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 provoked[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)

Common English Bible
27 Baasha, Ahijah’s son from the house of Issachar, plotted against him and attacked him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. Nadab and all Israel were laying siege against Gibbethon. 28 Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of Judah’s King Asa and ruled in Nadab’s place.
29 When he became king, Baasha attacked the entire house of Jeroboam. He didn’t allow any living person to survive in Jeroboam’s family; he wiped them out according to the Lord’s word spoken by the Lord’s servant Ahijah of Shiloh. 30 This happened because of Jeroboam’s sins that he committed and that he caused Israel to commit, and because he angered the Lord, Israel’s God. 31 The rest of Nadab’s deeds and all that he did, aren’t they written in the official records of Israel’s kings?
