Zimri Reigns in Israel

1 Kings 16

¹⁵ In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri had reigned in Tirzah seven days. And the people were encamped _r against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. ¹⁶ Now the people who were encamped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired and also has killed the king." So all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp. ¹⁷ Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah. ¹⁸ And it happened, when Zimri saw that the city was ₁ taken, that he went into the citadel of the king's house and burned the king's house ₂ down upon himself with fire, and died, ¹⁹ because of the sins which he had committed in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, _s in walking in the _t way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he had committed to make Israel sin. ²⁰ Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the treason he committed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
