AHIJAH, 8. Father of Baasha

1 Kings 15:27-33

27. Baasha the son of AHIJAH, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.
28. Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.
29. As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn't leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of The LORD, which he spoke by his servant AHIJAH the Shilonite;
30. for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked The LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
31. Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32. There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33. In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of AHIJAH began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.

2 Kings 9:9

I will make Ahab's house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of AHIJAH.
