1 Kings 15:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 15:29

And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the
house of Jeroboam
That he might have no rival, or any that could pretend any title to the crown:

he left not Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him,
according to the saying of the Lord, which he spake by his servant
Ahijah the Shilonite;
not that his intention in destroying Jeroboam's family was to fulfil that prophecy, but so it was eventually; see ( 1 Kings 14:10 1 Kings 14:14 ) .

1 Kings 15:29 In-Context

27 Baasha son of Ahijah from the tribe of Issachar plotted against him, and he struck him down at Gibbethon, a Philistine town, while Nadab and all Israel were besieging it.

28 Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of Asa king of Judah and succeeded him as king.

29 As soon as he began to reign, he killed Jeroboam’s whole family. He did not leave Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all, according to the word of the LORD given through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.

30 This happened because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he aroused the anger of the LORD, the God of Israel.

31 As for the other events of Nadab’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
