Nadab's Reign and Baasha's Conspiracy

1 Kings 15:25-32
25Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. 26He did what was bad in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in the sin by which he caused Israel to sin. 27Baasha the son of Ahijah from the house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon. 28Baasha put him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah and reigned in his place. 29When he became king he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam; he did not leave alive any member of Jeroboam's household until he had destroyed it, according to the word of the LORD that he had spoken through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite. 30This was on account of the sins of Jeroboam that he committed and by which he caused Israel to sin, and because of the provocation with which he provoked the LORD God of Israel. 31Now the rest 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? 32There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout all their days.
