Zimri, who reigned seven days, burns the king’s house over him and dies

칠일 동안 왕이 된 시므리가 왕궁에 불을 놓고 그 가운데서 죽음

1 Kings 16:15–20: in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigns seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. The people who were encamped hear that Zimri had conspired, and had also killed the king. Therefore all Israel makes Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp. Omri goes up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besiege Tirzah. When Zimri sees that the city was taken, he goes into the fortified part of the king’s house and burns the king’s house over him with fire, and dies, for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did to make Israel to sin. The text says, “Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?” Where WEB reads “the fortified part of the king’s house”, the Korean Revised Version reads 왕궁 위소.
