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 El mensaje del Se帽or
contra Baasa y su familia, por el profeta Jeh煤, hijo de Hanani, se dio porque Baasa hab铆a hecho lo malo a los ojos del Se帽or
(igual que la familia de Jeroboam), y tambi茅n porque Baasa hab铆a destruido a la familia de Jeroboam. Los pecados de Baasa provocaron el enojo del Se帽or
.
8 Ela gobierna en Israel
Ela, hijo de Baasa, comenz贸 a gobernar Israel en el a帽o veintis茅is del reinado de Asa, rey de Jud谩; y rein贸 en la ciudad de Tirsa dos a帽os.
9 Zimri, que era el comandante de la mitad de los carros de guerra del rey, tram贸 un plan para matarlo. Cierto d铆a en Tirsa, Ela se emborrachaba en la casa de Arsa, el supervisor del palacio;
10 y entr贸 Zimri, lo hiri贸 y lo mat贸. Este hecho sucedi贸 durante el a帽o veintisiete del reinado de Asa, rey de Jud谩. Luego, Zimri lo sucedi贸 en el trono.
11 En cuanto subi贸 al poder, Zimri mat贸 a toda la familia real de Baasa; no dej贸 con vida ni siquiera a un solo hijo var贸n. Incluso mat贸 a los parientes lejanos y a los amigos.
