9. And his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him as he was in Tirtsah drinking himself drunk in the house of Artsa, who was over his house in Tirtsah.
10. Then Zimri came in and smote him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa sovereign of Yehuḏah, and reigned in his place.
11. And it came to be, when he began to reign, as soon as he was seated on his throne, that he smote all the household of Ba‛asha. He did not leave him one male, neither of his relatives nor of his friends.
12. So Zimri destroyed the entire house of Ba‛asha, according to the word of יהוה, which He spoke against Ba‛asha by Yĕhu the prophet,
13. for all the sins of Ba‛asha and the sins of Ělah his son, by which they had sinned and by which they had made Yisra’ĕl sin, in provoking יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl with their worthlessnesses.
14. And the rest of the acts of Ělah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl?
15. In the twenty-seventh year of Asa sovereign of Yehuḏah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirtsah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
16. And the people who were encamped heard it said, “Zimri has conspired and also smote the sovereign.” So all Yisra’ĕl set up Omri, the commander of the army, to reign over Yisra’ĕl that day in the camp.
