1 Kings 16:15-20

15In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days at Tirzah. Now the people were camped against 1Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 16The people who were camped heard 2it said, “Zimri has conspired and has also struck down the king.” Therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp. 17Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah. 18When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire, and 3died, 19because of his sins which he sinned, doing evil in the sight of the Lord, 4walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, making Israel sin. 205Now the rest of the acts of Zimri and his conspiracy which he 6carried out, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
