Source: Nav

1 Kings 16:17–22 Then Omri and all the Israelites marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah. / When Zimri saw that the city was captured, he entered the citadel of the royal palace and burned it down upon himself. So he died / because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the sight of the LORD and following the example of Jeroboam and the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.
