*
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah ,
Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah .
Now the troops were encamped against Gib '
bethon ,
which belonged to the Philistines ,
*
and the troops who were encamped heard it said , "
Zimri has conspired ,
and he has killed the king ";
therefore all Israel made Omri ,
the commander of the army ,
king over Israel that day in the camp .
*
So Omri went up from Gib '
bethon ,
and all Israel with him ,
and they besieged Tirzah .
*
And when Zimri saw that the city was taken ,
he went into the citadel of the king '
s house ,
and burned the king '
s house over him with fire ,
and died ,
