Bible | Zimri praise-worthy. (1.) A son of Salu, slain by Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, because of his wickedness in bringing a Midianitish woman into his tent (Num. 25:6-15). (2.) 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. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Literature | Zimri in Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel, is the second Duke of Buckingham. Like the captain who conspired against Asa, King of Judah, he "formed parties and joined factions," but pending the issue "he was drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, steward of his house." (1 Kings xvi. 9.) "Some of the chiefs were princes in the land; In the first rank of these did Zimri stand; A man so various that he seemed to be Not one, but all mankind's epitome. Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong, Was everything by starts, and nothing long." Part i. 543-548. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
