1 Kings 16:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ So Omri and all Israel's army left Gibbethon and they went to attack Tirzah. ¹⁸ Zimri saw that Omri had taken power over the city. So he went into the strong buildings of the king's palace. He lit a fire to burn the palace all around him. Zimri himself died in the fire. ¹⁹ This happened because of the sins that he had done. He did things that the Lord says are evil. He did the same bad things that Jeroboam had done. He also caused the Israelites to continue doing bad things.
