1 Kings 16:15-20
In the seven day after Zimri reigned in Tirzah. The army was encamped near Gibbethon, a Philistine town. When the Israelites in the camp heard that Zimri had plotted against the king and murdered him, they proclaimed Omri, king over Israel that very day there in the camp.
When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the royal palace and set the palace on fire around him. So he died.
Zimri introduces a short lived new dynasty and commits suicide when under siege by Omri.
Why?
Zimri has not right to be a king when Israelite heard he had plotted against the king, they proclaimed Omri as their king.
Evil man did evil matter, finally betrayed by his evil way.
Be aware when we criticize others, others may criticize me either.
How?
Pray to the Lord don't let me walk on the evil way like others, made the same mistakes. Let me walking on the way of the Lord.
