25 In the second year of Asa’s reign over Yehudah, Yarave’am’s son Nadav became king of Israel where he reigned for two years. 26 He did what Yahweh had said was evil, following his father’s behaviour and his sin that in turn, caused Israel to sin.

27 A man named Baasha (from the Yissashkar tribe) plotted against King Nadav and killed him at the Philistine city of Gibbeton when Nadav and all Israel were besieging the city. 28 It was the third year of King Asa’s reign in Yehudah when Baasha killed King Nadav, then Baasha took over as king of Israel. 29 As soon as he took over, he had Yarave’am’s entire family executed—not leaving a single one of them alive. This fulfilled what Yahweh had said through his servant Ahiyyah the Shilonite,[ref] 30 because Yarave’am’s own sins, as well as his causing Israel to sin, had provoked Yahweh into getting angry.

31 Everything else that Nadav did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel. 32 King Asa and King Baasha of Israel were in a continual state of war during their reigns.
