1 Reyes 16:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 16:9

And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots
His military chariots; there were two captains of them, and this was one of them; so the Targum,

``one of the two masters or captains of the chariots:''

conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in
the house of Arza, steward of his house in Tirzah;
who had the charge of his wine and other liquors, to which he was addicted beyond measure; and this was a fit opportunity for Zimri to fall upon him, and slay him, when he was drunk, and off his guard, and his army at the same time was besieging Gibbethon, ( 1 Kings 16:15 ) so that there was a very great likeness in what befell the family of Baasha, to that of the family of Jeroboam; for as the son of the one, and of the other, reigned but two years, so they were both slain by their servants, and both at a time when Gibbethon was besieged; the Targum takes this Arza to be the temple of an idol so called, near the royal palace.

1 Reyes 16:9 In-Context

7 Tambi茅n fue la palabra del SE脩OR por medio del profeta Jeh煤, hijo de Hanan铆, contra Baasa y su casa, no s贸lo por todo el mal que hizo ante los ojos del SE脩OR, provoc谩ndole a ira con la obra de sus manos, siendo semejante a la casa de Jeroboam, sino tambi茅n por haber destruido a 茅sta.
8 En el a帽o veintis茅is de Asa, rey de Jud谩, Ela, hijo de Baasa, comenz贸 a reinar sobre Israel en Tirsa y rein贸 dos a帽os.
9 Y su siervo Zimri, jefe de la mitad de sus carros, conspir贸 contra 茅l. Y Ela estaba en Tirsa bebiendo hasta emborracharse en la casa de Arsa, que era mayordomo de la casa en Tirsa.
10 Entonces Zimri entr贸, lo hiri贸, y le dio muerte, en el a帽o veintisiete de Asa, rey de Jud谩, y rein贸 en su lugar.
11 Y sucedi贸 que cuando comenz贸 a reinar, tan pronto como se sent贸 en su trono, mat贸 a toda la casa de Baasa; no dej贸 ni un solo var贸n, ni de sus parientes ni de sus amigos.
