What Does 1 Kings 15:28 Mean?
The historian fixes the date against Asa's reign: in his third year, Baasha killed Nadab and seized the throne for himself. The brief house of Jeroboam gives way to a new and equally violent dynasty in the north.
One usurper replaces another, and the cycle of bloodshed turns again. Yet even this grim event was not outside God's knowing, for it would fulfill a word He had spoken in judgment. The Lord remains sovereign over the affairs of nations, weaving even human treachery into the outworking of His righteous purposes.
