Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel during the second year Asa was king of Judah. Nadab was king of Israel for two years, and he did what the LORD said was wrong. Jeroboam had led the people of Israel to sin, and Nadab sinned in the same way as his father Jeroboam. Baasha son of Ahijah, from the tribe of Issachar, made plans to kill Nadab. Nadab and all Israel were attacking the Philistine town of Gibbethon, so Baasha killed Nadab there. This happened during Asa’s third year as king of Judah, and Baasha became the next king of Israel. As soon as Baasha became king, he killed all of Jeroboam’s family, leaving no one in Jeroboam’s family alive. He destroyed them all as the LORD had said would happen through his servant Ahijah from Shiloh. King Jeroboam had sinned very much and had led the people of Israel to sin, so he made the LORD, the God of Israel, very angry. Everything else Nadab did is written in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
