15In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah, while the people were camping upon Gibbethon, which belongs to the Philistines.16The people who were camping heard it said that Zimri had conspired and had also struck the king, so all Israel made Omri, the ruler of the army, king over Israel on that day in the camp.17Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirzah.18When Zimri saw that the city had been captured, he entered the citadel of the king's house, set the king's house on fire over himself, and died.19This was for his sin that he committed by doing what was evil in the eyes of the LORD, by walking in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin that he caused Israel to commit.20The rest of the words of Zimri and his conspiracy which he conspired, are they not written in the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
