13 This was for all the sins committed by Baasha and his son Elah. They sinned, led Israel to sin, and made the Lord God of Israel furious because of their worthless idols.
14 Isn’t everything else about Elah—everything he did—written in the official records of the kings of Israel?
15 In Asa’s twenty-seventh year as Judah’s king, Zimri ruled for seven days in Tirzah while the army was camped near the Philistine city of Gibbethon.
16 When the army heard that Zimri had plotted ⌊against the king⌋ and killed him, the Israelite troops in the camp made Omri, the commander of the army, king of Israel.
17 Omri and the Israelite troops with him left Gibbethon and attacked Tirzah.
18 When Zimri saw that the city had been captured, he went into the stronghold in the royal palace and burned down the palace over his own head. He died
19 because of the sins he had committed—the things the Lord considered evil. Zimri lived like Jer o boam and led Israel to sin.
