Nadab’s Reign over Israel In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Jeroboam’s son Nadab became the king of Israel; he ruled Israel for two years.

When he became king, he executed Jeroboam’s entire family. He wiped out everyone who breathed, in keeping with the LORD’s message that he had spoken through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
This happened because of the sins which Jeroboam committed and which he made Israel commit. These sins angered the LORD God of Israel.
