In the twenty #
H8141and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah .
And the people were encamped against Gibbethon ,
which belonged to the Philistines .
*
And the people that were encamped heard say ,
Zimri hath conspired ,
and hath also slain the king :
wherefore all Israel made Omri ,
the captain of the host ,
king over Israel that day in the camp .
*
And Omri went up from Gibbethon ,
and all Israel with him ,
and they besieged Tirzah .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Zimri saw that the city was taken ,
that he went into the palace of the kings house ,
and burnt the kings house over him with fire ,
and died ,
