| Baasha ben Achiyah of the house of Yissachar conspired and struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines; on becoming king Baasha struck the whole house of Yeravam, leaving no breathing soul, according to the word of God spoken through Achiyah HaShiloni. | biblical | ★★★★★ | |
| The placement (reigned 2986–2988 AM) is a schematic Mesorah Atlas reconstruction: the northern kings' regnal years stated in Kings are chained forward from the division of the kingdom in 2964 AM, with sub-year reigns counted as zero; the chain closes exactly at the fall of Shomron in 3205 AM (Chizkiyahu's sixth year, Melachim II 18:10). The cited source states the reign's length, not absolute dates.
The cited sources establish relative chronology or regnal duration; they do not state the absolute AM range.
