1. A prince of the tribe of Simeon, slain by Phinehas for his heaven-daring crime on the plains of Moab, Nu 25:14.
2. A general of half the cavalry of Elah king of Israel. He rebelled against his master, killed him, and usurped his kingdom. He cut off the whole family, not sparing any of his relations or friends; whereby was fulfilled the word of the Lord denounced to Baasha the father of Elah, by the prophet Jehu. Zimri reigned but seven days; for the army of Israel, then besieging Gibbethon, a city of the Philistines, made their general, Omri, king, and came and besieged Zimri in the city of Tirzah. Zimri, seeing the city on the point of being taken, burned himself in the palace with all its riches, 1Ki 16:1-20; 2Ki 9:31.

Jehovah spoke to the prophet Jehu son of Hanani and gave him this message to give to Baasha: I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over my people Israel. You have gone the way of Jeroboam. You made my people Israel do evil, moving me to wrath by their sins. read more. Truly, I will take away the family of Baasha. I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. Dogs will eat anyone of the family of Baasha who dies in town. The birds of the air will eat anyone who dies in the open country. The rest of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his power, are recorded in the book of the History of the Kings of Israel. Baasha rested with his fathers. He was buried at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place. The word of Jehovah came to the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani. This was a warning against Baasha and his family because of all the evil he did in the eyes of Jehovah. He made Jehovah angry by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he killed him. In the twenty-sixth year that Asa was king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, became king of Israel in Tirzah. He was king for two years. His servant Zimri, commander of half his war-carriages made plans to kill him. He was in Tirzah, drinking hard at the house of Arza, controller of the king's house in Tirzah. Zimri attacked and killed him. It was the twenty-seventh year that Asa was king of Judah. Immediately after he became king and took his place on the throne of the kingdom, he put to death all the family of Baasha. Not one male child survived. So Zimri destroyed the entire family of Baasha as Jehovah promised through the prophet Jehu. This happened because of the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, and because of all the sins they led Israel to commit. It aroused the anger of Jehovah the God of Israel. The rest of the acts of Elah are recorded in the book of the History of the Kings of Israel. In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, Zimri was king for seven days in Tirzah. The people were attacking Gibbethon in the land of the Philistines. The Israelites in the camp heard it said: Zimri plotted against the king and killed him. So all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king that day there in the camp. Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, with all the army of Israel, and they attacked Tirzah, Israel's capital. Zimri saw that the city had fallen. So he went into the palace's inner fortress and set the palace on fire. He died in the flames. This happened because of his sins against Jehovah. Like his predecessor Jeroboam, he displeased Jehovah by his own sins and by leading Israel into sin. Everything else that Zimri did, including the account of his conspiracy, is recorded in The History of the Kings of Israel.

praise-worthy. (1.) A son of Salu, slain by Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, because of his wickedness in bringing a Midianitish woman into his tent (Nu 25:6-15).
(2.) Murdered Elah at Tirzah, and succeeded him on the throne of Israel (1Ki 16:8-10). He reigned only seven days, for Omri, whom the army elected as king, laid siege to Tirzah, whereupon Zimri set fire to the palace and perished amid its ruins (1Ki 16:11-20). Omri succeeded to the throne only after four years of fierce war with Tibni, another claimant to the throne.

One of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman to his brothers. He did this right in front of Moses and the entire congregation of Israel while they were crying at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Phinehas, son of Eleazar and grandson of the priest Aaron, saw this. He left the assembly and grabbed a spear in his hand. read more. He went into the tent after the Israelite man. He drove the spear through the man and into the woman's body. Because of this, the plague that the Israelites were experiencing stopped. Twenty-four thousand people died from that plague. Jehovah continued speaking to Moses: Jehovah said to Moses: Phinehas, son of Eleazar and grandson of the priest Aaron, turned my fury away from the Israelites. Since he stood up for me, I did not have to stand up for myself and destroy them. Tell Phinehas that I now make a promise of peace to him. My promise is that he and his descendants will be priests for a very long time because he stood up for his God. He made peace with Jehovah for the Israelites.

1. Nu 25:8-14. Son of Salu, a chief of Simeon. When Israel were being plagued for the impure worship of Baal Peor, and were weeping and craving mercy before the tabernacle, Zimri shamelessly brought a Midianitess, Cozbi daughter of Zur, into the dome-shaped tent (qubbah, the al-cove, or arched inner recess appropriated to the women, or else a tent appropriated to Peor's vile worship) in sight of Moses and the congregation. Phinehas gained his "everlasting priesthood" by his zeal in thrusting both through, so that the plague was stayed.
2. Fifth sovereign of northern Israel; originally captain of half Elah's chariots; reigned only seven days, after having slain Elah son of Baasha, (while drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, steward of his house in Tirzah), and then all the house of Baasha, fulfilling the prophet Jehu's words: 929, 930 B.C. (1Ki 16:1-4,8-13,15-20.) But the army then besieging the Philistine town Gibbethon proclaimed their captain Omri king; he marched against Tirzah and took it. Then Zimri burnt the palace over him and died. Thus treason punished treason; the slayer is slain. As Baasha conspired against Nadab, so Zimri against his son, and Omri against Zimri (Re 13:10; Mt 26:52).
3. One of Zerah's five sons (1Ch 2:6).
4. Jehoadah's son; sprung from Saul (1Ch 8:36; 9:42).
5. A tribe of "the sons of the East" (Jer 25:25); some identify them with the Zubra between Mecca and Medina (Ge 25:2).
