1 Kings 16:15-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵ In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned for seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were camped against ^(A)Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. ¹⁶ And the people who were camped heard ^[a]it being said, “Zimri has conspired and has also struck and killed the king!” Therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp. ¹⁷ Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah. ¹⁸ When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over himself with fire, and ^(B)died, ¹⁹ because of his sins which he ^[b]committed, doing evil in the sight of the Lord, ^(C)walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he committed, misleading Israel into sin. ^20 (D)Now as for the rest of the acts of Zimri and his conspiracy which he ^[c]carried out, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
