11:016:009 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired
           against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in
           the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.

11:016:010 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty
           and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his
           stead.

11:016:011 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat
           on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha:  he left
           him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his
           kinsfolks, nor of his friends.

11:016:012 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to
           the word of the lord, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu
           the prophet.

11:016:013 For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by
           which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in
           provoking the lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

11:016:014 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are
           they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
           Israel?

11:016:015 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri
           reign seven days in Tirzah.  And the people were encamped
           against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

11:016:016 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath
           conspired, and hath also slain the king:  wherefore all Israel
           made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day
           in the camp.

11:016:017 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and
           they besieged Tirzah.

11:016:018 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken,
           that he went into the palace of the king’s house, and burnt
           the king’s house over him with fire, and died.

11:016:019 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the
           lord, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which
           he did, to make Israel to sin.

11:016:020 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he
           wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of
           the kings of Israel?

11:016:021 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts:  half of
           the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king;
           and half followed Omri.

11:016:022 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people
           that followed Tibni the son of Ginath:  so Tibni died, and Omri
           reigned.

11:016:023 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri
           to reign over Israel, twelve years:  six years reigned he in
           Tirzah.
