New Testament

1 Kings 15:29-33 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

29. As soon as Baasha became king, he killed Jeroboam's whole family. He didn't leave any of them alive. He destroyed every one of them. He did what the Lord had said would happen. The Lord had spoken that message through his servant Ahijah from Shiloh.

30. The Lord judged Jeroboam's family because of the sins Jeroboam had committed. He had also caused Israel to commit those same sins. He had made the Lord very angry. The Lord is the God of Israel.

31. The other events of Nadab's rule are written down. Everything he did is written down. All of those things are written in the official records of the kings of Israel.

32. There was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel. It lasted the whole time they were kings.

33. Baasha became king of Israel in Tirzah. It was in the third year that Asa was king of Judah. Baasha ruled for 24 years. He was the son of Ahijah.
