1 Kings 16:15-20 - The Very Brief Reign Of Zimri In Israel

¹⁵ The twenty seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah, the people besieging Gibbethon a city of the Philistines. ¹⁶ And when the people that lay in the siege, heard say how Zimri had conspired, and how he had slain the king also: then all Israel made Omri the captain of the men of war king the same day over Israel even in the host. ¹⁷ And Omri departed from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and besieged Tirzah. ¹⁸ And when Zimri saw that the city must needs be taken, he went into the palace of the king's house, and set the king's house afire upon himself; and there died, ¹⁹ for his sins which he sinned in doing wickedness in the sight of the LORD, and for walking in the way of Jeroboam and in his sins which he did and made Israel sin.

²⁰ The rest of the Acts of Zimri and the treason that he wrought, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
