ZIMRI, 2. King of Israel

1 Kings 16:9-20

9. His servant ZIMRI, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah;
10. and ZIMRI went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
11. When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He didn't leave him a single one who urinates on a wall among his relatives or his friends.
12. Thus ZIMRI destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to The LORD's word, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
13. for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke The LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
14. Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15. In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, ZIMRI reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
16. The people who were encamped heard that ZIMRI had conspired, and had also killed the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
17. Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
18. When ZIMRI saw that the city was taken, he went into the fortified part of the king's house, and burned the king's house over him with fire, and died,
19. for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in The LORD's sight, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
20. Now the rest of the acts of ZIMRI, and his treason that he committed, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

2 Kings 9:31

As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, "Do you come in peace, ZIMRI, you murderer of your master?"
