BC. His reign is noted for its military campaigns and political maneuvers. Baasha came to power by assassinating Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, fulfilling the prophecy against Jeroboam's house (<a href="/1_kings/15-29.htm">1 Kings 15:29</a>). His acts include fortifying the city of Ramah to control access to Jerusalem, which led to conflict with Asa, king of Judah (<a href="/1_kings/15-17.htm">1 Kings 15:17</a>).<p><b>along with his accomplishments and might</b><br>Baasha's accomplishments include his military strength and strategic fortifications. His might is demonstrated in his ability to maintain control over Israel for 24 years, a significant period for a king who came to power through a coup. However, his reign was marked by idolatry and disobedience to God, which ultimately led to his downfall and the prophecy against his house (<a href="/1_kings/16.htm">1 Kings 16:1-4</a>).<p><b>are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?</b><br>This phrase indicates that there were other historical records, now lost, that detailed the reigns of the kings of Israel. The Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel is distinct from the biblical books of Chronicles and served as a royal archive. This reference underscores the historical nature of the biblical narrative and suggests that the biblical account is a summary of more extensive records. The mention of such a book highlights the importance of historical documentation in the ancient Near East and provides a context for understanding the biblical text as part of a broader historical tradition.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/baasha.htm">Baasha</a></b><br>He was the third king of the northern kingdom of Israel, reigning for 24 years.
