Notes

1 Kings 15:27–29

Baasha killed Nadab and all of Jeroboam's descendants, ending Israel's first family line of kings. Baasha's father was Ahijah, not to be confused with the prophet who predicted Jeroboam's family line of kings would end (1 Kings 11:29–39). Baasha's takeover was the first of several in Israel's history (for example, 1 Kings 16:9–10).

1 Kings 15:25–31

The writer of 1 Kings tells Nadab’s life story using a common format (see study note on 1 Kings 15:1–8).
