"Zimri"

Zimri (r. 882 B.C.E.) – Little is known of this treasonous murderer of his master Elah. Like Baasha, Zimri on his accession slew the entire line of his predecessors, in this case of the House of Baasha (even killing friends of the dynasty). Zimri was but one of several senior military officers who now vied for the throne. He reigned only one week before the Israelite army at Gibbeton promoted Omri, a military captain, to the throne. Omri promptly besieged Tirzah with Zimri therein.

When he saw that the capital had fallen, Zimri set fire to the royal palace and perished in the flames. His unknown burial place was likely in Tirzah. Zimri does not appear in Chronicles.
