Usage: The name Zimri appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, referring to different individuals:

Context: • Zimri, the King of Israel: Zimri was a commander of half the chariots of Elah, king of Israel. He conspired against Elah, assassinated him, and took the throne. His reign was short-lived, lasting only seven days, as he was overthrown by Omri. In desperation, Zimri set the royal palace on fire and perished in the flames (1 Kings 16:9-20). The Berean Standard Bible recounts this event: "When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the royal palace and set the palace on fire around him. So he died" (1 Kings 16:18, BSB).

• Zimri, the Son of Salu: Another Zimri mentioned in the Bible is the son of Salu, a Simeonite leader. He is noted for his transgression with a Midianite woman, which led to a plague among the Israelites. Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron, ended the plague by killing Zimri and the woman (Numbers 25:6-15). The Berean Standard Bible describes this incident: "When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand, followed the Israelite into the tent, and drove the spear through both of them" (Numbers 25:7-8, BSB).

• Zimri, the Benjamite: A descendant of Benjamin, Zimri is listed in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles 8:36 and 9:42. He is noted as an ancestor of Jehoiada.

• Zimri, the Judahite: Another Zimri is mentioned in the genealogies of Judah in 1 Chronicles 2:6, as a son of Zerah.
