1 Kings 16:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 16:15

In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri
reign seven days in Tirzah,
&c] Until the army under Omri came and took the palace, and destroyed him:

and the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belongeth to the
Philistines;
it was besieged in Nadab's time, but upon his death, by Baasha, the siege was raised; or however, if then taken, it was recovered by the Philistines, and now besieged again by the Israelites, see ( 1 Kings 15:27 ) .

1 Kings 16:15 In-Context

13 propter universa peccata Baasa et peccata Hela filii eius qui peccaverunt et peccare fecerunt Israhel provocantes Dominum Deum Israhel in vanitatibus suis

14 reliqua autem sermonum Hela et omnia quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel

15 anno vicesimo et septimo Asa regis Iuda regnavit Zamri septem diebus in Thersa porro exercitus obsidebat Gebbethon urbem Philisthinorum

16 cumque audisset rebellasse Zamri et occidisse regem fecit sibi regem omnis Israhel Amri qui erat princeps militiae super Israhel in die illa in castris

17 ascendit ergo Amri et omnis Israhel cum eo de Gebbethon et obsidebant Thersa
