In the twenty and seventh year of Asa Melech Yehudah did Zimri reign as Melech shivah yamim in Tirtzah. And the army was encamped against Gibeton, which belonged to the Pelishtim.
16
And the army that was encamped heard say, Zimri hath plotted a kesher, and hath also slain HaMelech; wherefore kol Yisroel made Omri, the Sar Tzava, Melech over Yisroel that day in the machaneh.
17
And Omri withdrew from Gibeton, and kol Yisroel with him, and they laid siege to Tirtzah.
18
And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the Ir was taken, that he went into the armon (palace, castle) of the Bais HaMelech, and he burned the Bais HaMelech over him with eish, and died.
19
For his chattot which he sinned in doing rah (evil) in the eyes of Hashem, in walking in the derech Yarov‘am, and in his chattat which he did, to make Yisroel to sin.
