1 Kings 15:26-28

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁶ He did what the Lord considered evil, living as his father did, leading Israel into the same sins.

²⁷ Then Baasha, son of Ahijah from the tribe of Issachar, plotted against Nadab. Baasha assassinated him in the Philistine city of Gibbethon while Nadab and the Israelite forces were attacking it. ²⁸ The assassination happened in Asa’s third year as king of Judah. Baasha succeeded Nadab as king of Israel.
