Zimri’s Reign over Israel

16:15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri became king over Israel; he ruled for seven days in Tirzah. Zimri’s revolt took place while the army was deployed 1  in Gibbethon, which was in Philistine territory. 16:16 While deployed there, the army received this report: 2  “Zimri has conspired against the king and assassinated him.” 3  So all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that very day in the camp.

1 tn Heb “Now the people were encamped.

3 tn Heb “has conspired against and also has struck down the king.”
