1 Kings 16:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ When Zimri saw the city had been captured, he ran to the palace fortress, but the soldiers burned it down with him still in it. ¹⁹ So Zimri died because he sinned and did what the Lord said was wrong, just as Jeroboam did when he caused the Israelites to sin.

²⁰ The story about Zimri’s secret plans and the other things that he did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Israel.
