In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah .
And the people [
were ]
encamped (

The siege had continued from the time of Nadab Jeroboam '
s son .(:

against Gibbethon ,
which [
belonged ]
to the Philistines .
*
And the people of the hoste heard saye ,
Zimri hath conspired ,
and hath also slayne the King .
Wherefore all Israel made Omri the captaine of the hoste ,
king ouer Israel that same day ,
euen in the hoste .
*
And Omri went up from Gibbethon ,
and all Israel with him ,
and they besieged (

Where Zimri holed up .(:

Tirzah .
*
And when Zimri saw ,
that the citie was taken ,
he went into the palace of the Kings house ,
and burnt himselfe ,
and the Kings house with fire ,
and so dyed ,
*
For his sinnes which hee sinned ,
in doing that which is euil in the sight of the Lord ,
in walking in the way of Ieroboam ,
and in his sinnes which he did ,
causing Israel to sinne .
*
And the rest of the actes of Zimri ,
and his treason that hee wrought ,
are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kinges of Israel ?
