Contextual Overview

25 Nadav the son of Yarov`am began to reign over Yisra'el in the second year of Asa king of Yehudah; and he reigned over Yisra'el two years. 26 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Yisra'el to sin. 27 Ba`sha the son of Achiyah, of the house of Yissakhar, conspired against him; and Ba`sha struck him at Gibbeton, which belonged to the Pelishtim; for Nadav and all Yisra'el were laying siege to Gibbeton. 28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Yehudah did Ba`sha kill him, and reigned in his place. 29 It happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Yarov`am: he didn't leave to Yarov`am any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Achiyah the Shiloni; 30 for the sins of Yarov`am which he sinned, and with which he made Yisra'el to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, to anger. 31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadav, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra'el? 32 There was war between Asa and Ba`sha king of Yisra'el all their days. 33 In the third year of Asa king of Yehudah began Ba`sha the son of Achiyah to reign over all Yisra'el in Tirtzah, [and reigned] twenty-four years. 34 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Yarov`am, and in his sin with which he made Yisra'el to sin.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah,.... Which is repeated, partly to observe that the whole kingdom submitted to him, though an usurper and murderer, and the place where he kept his court, as also the time of his reign, as follows:

twenty four years; which were as long as both Jeroboam and his son reigned.
