1 Kings 16:9-22

9His servantH5650 1ZimriH2174, commanderH8269 of halfH4276 his chariotsH7393, conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him. Now he was at TirzahH8656 drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the houseH1004 of ArzaH777, 2whoH834 was overH5921 the householdH1004 at TirzahH8656. 10Then ZimriH2174 wentH935 in and struckH5221 him and putH4191 him to deathH4191 in the twenty-seventhH6242H7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478. 11It cameH1961 about when he becameH4427 kingH4427, as soon as he satH3427 on his throneH3678, that 3he 4killedH5221 allH3605 the householdH1004 of BaashaH1201; he did not leaveH7604 5a single maleH8366H7023, neither of his 6relativesH1350 nor of his friendsH7453.

12Thus ZimriH2174 destroyedH8045 allH3605 the householdH1004 of BaashaH1201, 7according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, whichH834 He spokeH1696 againstH413 BaashaH1201 throughH3027 8JehuH3058 the prophetH5030, 13for allH3605 the sinsH2403 of BaashaH1201 and the sinsH2403 of ElahH425 his sonH1121, whichH834 they sinnedH2398 and whichH834 they made IsraelH3478 sinH2398, 9provokingH3707 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 with their 10idolsH1892. 1411Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ElahH425 and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?

15In the twenty-seventhH6242H7651 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, ZimriH2174 reignedH4427 sevenH7651 daysH3117 at TirzahH8656. Now the peopleH5971 were campedH2583 againstH5921 12GibbethonH1405, whichH834 belonged to the PhilistinesH6430. 16The peopleH5971 who were campedH2583 heardH8085 13it saidH559, “ZimriH2174 has conspiredH7194 and has alsoH1571 struckH5221 downH5221 the kingH4428.” Therefore allH3605 IsraelH3478 madeH4427 OmriH6018, the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635, kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 that dayH3117 in the campH4264. 17Then OmriH6018 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him wentH5927 up from GibbethonH1405 and besiegedH6696H5921 TirzahH8656. 18When ZimriH2174 sawH7200 that the cityH5892 was takenH3920, he wentH935 into the citadelH759 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004 and burnedH8313 the king’sH4428 houseH1004 overH5921 him with fireH784, and 14diedH4191, 19becauseH5921 of his sinsH2403 whichH834 he sinnedH2398, doingH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, 15walkingH1980 in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and in his sinH2403 whichH834 he didH6213, making IsraelH3478 sinH2398. 2016Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ZimriH2174 and his conspiracyH7195 whichH834 he 17carriedH7194 out, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?

21ThenH227 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 were dividedH2505 into twoH2677 partsH2677: halfH2677 of the peopleH5971 followedH1961H310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527, to makeH4427 him kingH4427; the other halfH2677 followedH310 OmriH6018. 22But the peopleH5971 whoH834 followedH310 OmriH6018 prevailedH2388 overH2388 the peopleH5971 whoH834 followedH310 TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527. And TibniH8402 diedH4191 and OmriH6018 becameH4427 kingH4427.
