In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king over all Israel in Tirzah; he ruled for twenty-four years.
So Jeroboam’s wife got up and went back to Tirzah. As she crossed the threshold of the house, the boy died.
Now Asa and King Baasha of Israel were continually at war with each other.
Asa and King Nadab of Israel were continually at war with each other.
He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he followed in Jeroboam’s footsteps and encouraged Israel to sin.
In the twenty-sixth year of King Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha’s son Elah became king over Israel; he ruled in Tirzah for two years.
There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
