King James Version (KJV)
1 Kings 16:17 Context
14Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 15In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 16And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp. 17And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 18And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died, 19For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin. 20Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 16:17
16:15 Gibbethon - Which had been besieged before, but, it seems, wasthen relieved, or afterwards recovered by the Philistines; taking theadvantage of the disorders and contentions which were among their enemies.
16:19 For his sins - This befell him for his sins.In walking, &c. - This he might do, either before his reign, in the wholecourse of his life, which is justly charged upon him, because of hisimpenitency: or during his short reign; in which, he had time enough topublish his intentions, about the worship of the calves; or to sacrificeto them, for his good success.
