1 Kings 15

Abijam reigns in Judah and is compared unfavorably with David, though God preserves a lamp in Jerusalem for David’s sake. Asa then reigns forty-one years and is commended for doing right, removing idols and Maachah from royal position, though the high places remain. In Israel, Nadab son of Jeroboam is killed by Baasha, who destroys Jeroboam’s house in fulfillment of prophecy. Baasha nevertheless continues in Jeroboam’s sins and wars with Asa.
