Notes
Jeroboam brought on the Lord’s condemnation and judgment. His son Nadab continued in the same sins. Then Baasha became king and began a new dynasty (family line of rulers). This dynasty pushed Israel even further into spiritual weakness (1 Kings 15:34).
The writer of 1 Kings tells Nadab’s life story using a common format (see study note on 1 Kings 15:1–8).
