1 Reis 16:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 16:18

And it came to pass, that when Zimri saw that the city was
taken
That Omri, and the army with him, had got into it, being a place not much fortified, and Zimri not having force enough to defend it against such an army:

that he went into the palace of the king's house;
into the innermost and most splendid, as well as the strongest part of it:

and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and he died;
that he might not fall into the hands of his rival, who he might fear would use him ill, and that he might not enjoy the royal palace; though Kimchi thinks that Omri set fire to the palace, and burnt it over the head of Zimri, in which he perished; and this sense the text will bear.

1 Reis 16:18 In-Context

16 Quando os acampados souberam que Zinri havia conspirado contra o rei e o tinha assassinado, no mesmo dia, ali no acampamento, proclamaram Onri, o comandante do exército, rei sobre Israel.

17 Então Onri e todo o seu exército saíram de Gibetom e sitiaram Tirza.

18 Quando Zinri viu que a cidade tinha sido tomada, entrou na cidadela do palácio real e incendiou o palácio em torno de si, e morreu.

19 Tudo por causa dos pecados que ele havia cometido, fazendo o que o SENHOR reprova e andando nos caminhos de Jeroboão e no pecado que ele tinha cometido e levado Israel a cometer.

20 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Zinri e a rebelião que liderou estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel.
