Read 1 Kings 15.25--32. In 15.25-32: Nadab of Israel. Nadab marks the end of the royal house of Jeroboam. In verse 26: His ancestors is literally "his father," Jeroboam. In verse 27: Baasha was an army general who led a government takeover. In verses 29-30: After assassinating Nadab, Baasha killed all of Jeroboam's male heirs because they were potential rivals for the throne. This was customary practice for the founders of new royal houses. The deuteronomist, however, sees this as punishment for Jeroboam as prophesied by Alijah (14.7-11). Comments or Questions..
