1 Kings 16:18 in Context — 1 Kings 16

16 Et le peuple qui campait apprit cette nouvelle: Zimri a conspiré, et même il a tué le roi! Et ce jour-là, tout Israël établit dans le camp pour roi d’Israël Omri, chef de l’armée.

17 Omri et tout Israël avec lui partirent de Guibbethon, et ils assiégèrent Thirtsa.

18 Zimri, voyant que la ville était prise, se retira dans le palais de la maison du roi, et brûla sur lui la maison du roi.

19 C’est ainsi qu’il mourut, à cause des péchés qu’il avait commis en faisant ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel, en marchant dans la voie de Jéroboam, et en se livrant aux péchés que Jéroboam avait commis pour faire pécher Israël.

20 Le reste des actions de Zimri, et la conspiration qu’il forma, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d’Israël?
