1 Kings 16:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ Omri and his troops left Gibbethon and went and besieged Tirzah. ¹⁸ When Zimri saw that the city had fallen, he went into the palace's inner fortress, set the palace on fire, and died in the flames. ¹⁹ This happened because of his sins against the Lord. Like his predecessor Jeroboam, he displeased the Lord by his own sins and by leading Israel into sin.
