15In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri became king for seven days in Tirzah, while the people were camped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

16And the people who were camped there heard it said, “Zimri has conspired and has also struck down the king.” So all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army over Israel, king that day in the camp.
