1 Kings 16:13 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 16:13

11 Then it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he was seated on his throne, that he killed all the household of Baasha; he ^adid not leave him one male, neither of his relatives nor of his friends.

12 Thus Zimri destroyed all the household of Baasha, ^aaccording to the word of the Lord, which He spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

13 for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son, by which they had sinned and by which they had made Israel sin, in provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger ^awith their idols.

14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Zimri Reigns in Israel

15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri had reigned in Tirzah seven days. And the people were encamped ^aagainst Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

16 Now the people who were encamped heard it said, “Zimri has conspired and also has killed the king.” So all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

17 Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.

18 And it happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the citadel of the king’s house and burned the king’s house² down upon himself with fire, and died,

19 because of the sins which he had committed in doing evil in the sight of the Lord, ^ain walking in the ^bway of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he had committed to make Israel sin.
