זִמְרִי , זִמְרִי

Praise-worthy.

A son of Salu, slain by Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, because of his wickedness in bringing a Midianitish woman into his tent (Numbers 25:6-15 ).

Murdered Elah at Tirzah, and succeeded him on the throne of Israel (1 Kings 16:8-10 ). He reigned only seven days, for Omri, whom the army elected as king, laid siege to Tirzah, whereupon Zimri set fire to the palace and perished amid its ruins (11-20). Omri succeeded to the throne only after four years of fierce war with Tibni, another claimant to the throne.
