Murdered Elah at Tirzah, and succeeded him on the throne of Israel (1 Kg 16:8ff). He reigned only seven days (885-884 B.C.) (1 Kg 16:9-20, 1Chr 8:36), for Omri, whom the army elected as king, laid siege to Tirzah, whereupon Zimri set fire to the palace and perished amid its ruins (1 Kg 16:11ff). Omri succeeded to the throne only after four years of fierce war with Tibni, another claimant to the throne.
