Rehoboam's acts from beginning to end and his family records are found in The History of Shemaiah the Prophet and The History of Iddo the Prophet.Rehoboam and Jeroboam were constantly at war with each other.

The rest of the history of Abijah, what he said and what he did, is written in The History of Iddo the Prophet.

All the events of Asa's reign from beginning to end are recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

A prophet, Jehu son of Hanani, went to meet the king and said to him, "Do you think it is right to help those who are wicked and to take the side of those who hate the LORD? What you have done has brought the LORD's anger on you.

The LORD spoke to the prophet Jehu son of Hanani and gave him this message for Baasha:

That message from the LORD against Baasha and his family was given by the prophet Jehu because of the sins that Baasha committed against the LORD. He aroused the LORD's anger not only because of the evil he did, just as King Jeroboam had done before him, but also because he killed all of Jeroboam's family.
