25. In the second year of the reign of King Asa of Judah, King Jeroboam's son Nadab became king of Israel, and he ruled for two years.
26. Like his father before him, he sinned against the Lord and led Israel into sin.
27. Baasha son of Ahijah, of the tribe of Issachar, plotted against Nadab and killed him as Nadab and his army were besieging the city of Gibbethon in Philistia.
28. This happened during the third year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. And so Baasha succeeded Nadab as king of Israel.
