Historical Usage
Baasha was the twelfth king of the northern kingdom of Israel, succeeding his father, Ahijah, and ruling from Tirzah. He reigned for twenty-four years, the longest of any non-Davidic king of Israel (1 Kings 15:23-32). Baasha's reign was marked by a period of relative peace and prosperity, but he also expanded the northern kingdom's borders at the expense of the Arameans, Moabites, and Edomites.
Approximately 911-886 BC
Baasha's reign was also marred by his role in the assassination of Nadab, the newly crowned king of Israel. Baasha murdered Nadab and seized the throne for himself, setting off a succession crisis that lasted for several generations and led to the eventual fall of the northern kingdom to the Assyrians (2 Kings 10:1-11).
Approximately 911-886 BC
