1 Kings 16:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

Zimri King of Israel

¹⁵ In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned as king in Tirzah for seven days. The army was laying siege to Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. ¹⁶ The army which was laying siege heard the report that Zimri had conspired against the king and had already struck him down. So in the camp on that day all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel. ¹⁷ Then Omri and all Israel went up from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirzah.
