9 And his servant Zimri captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah drinking of strong drink, in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
10 And Zimri came and smote him and killed him the twenty seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
11 And as soon as he was king and sat his seat, he slew all the house of Baasha and left not a pisser against a wall. And thereto he slew all his kin and friends,
12 and so Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD which he spake to Baasha through Jehu the Prophet;
13 for all the sins of Baasha and sins of Elah his son, wherewith they sinned and made Israel sin, to anger the LORD of Israel with their vanities.
14 The rest of the deeds of Elah and all he did, are written in the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
15 The twenty seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah, the people besieging Gibbethon a city of the Philistines.
16 And when the people that lay in the siege, heard say how Zimri had conspired, and how he had slain the king also: then all Israel made Omri the captain of the men of war king the same day over Israel even in the host.
17 And Omri departed from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and besieged Tirzah.
18 And when Zimri saw that the city must needs be taken, he went into the palace of the king's house, and set the king's house afire upon himself; and there died,
19 for his sins which he sinned in doing wickedness in the sight of the LORD, and for walking in the way of Jeroboam and in his sins which he did and made Israel sin.
20 The rest of the Acts of Zimri and the treason that he wrought, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
