Now ^(C1)Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel for two years.

He did evil in the sight of the LORD, and ^(C1)walked in the way of his father and ^(C2)in his sin into which he misled Israel.

Then ^(C1)Baasha the son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha struck and killed him at ^(C2)Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

And as soon as he was king, he struck and killed all the household of Jeroboam. He did not leave Jeroboam any ^(F1)persons alive, but kept killing until he had eliminated them, ^(C1)in accordance with the word of the LORD which He spoke by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

and because of the sins of Jeroboam which he ^(F1)committed, and into ^(C1)which he misled Israel, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
