In the second year of his reign, while they were besieging Gibbethon - a Philistine town in southern Dan () - a conspiracy broke out in Nadab's own army. He was slain by one of his own captains, Baasha, who then made himself king of Israel. () 
Baasha subsequently assassinated the entire House of Jeroboam; so did this great Ephraimite family become extinct. ()
