1 KINGS 15:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.”
So Baasha slew him in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead — Baasha eliminates Nadab and claims the throne. The synchronism with Asa's reign (second year) provides historical coordinate. Baasha's ascent through assassination marks another instance of northern dynastic instability.
