- Numbers 25:6–8
Just then an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and the whole congregation of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Commentary on Numbers 25:6–82 voices
One of the children of Israel - Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief family in the tribe of Simeon, Num 25:14, brought a Midianitish woman, Cozbi, daughter of Zur, head over a people of one of the chief families in Midian, Num 25:15. The condition of these two persons plainly proves it to have been a matrimonial alliance, the one was a prince, the other a princess; therefore I must conclude that fornication or whoredom, in the common sense of the word, was not practiced on this occasion.

- Numbers 25:14
The name of the Israelite who was slain with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family.
Commentary on Numbers 25:141 voice
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain,.... By Phinehas, as before related: even that was slain with the Midianitish woman; who was slain also, both together with one thrust: was Zimri, the son of Sela, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites; or a prince of his father's house, or family; there were five families of the Simeonites, and this man was a prince of one of them, see Num 26:12 though Josephus (h), and so the Samaritan Chronicle (i), make him to be a prince of the tribe of Simeon.

- 1 Kings 16:9–20
However, while Elah was in Tirzah getting drunk in the house of Arza the steward of his household there, Elah’s servant Zimri, the commander of half his chariots, conspired against him.
Commentary on 1 Kings 16:9–202 voices
And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The conspiracy of Zimri - Elahs servant (i. e., subject) - was favored by his position, which probably gave him military authority in the city, by the absence of a great part of the people and of the officers who might have checked him, at Gibbethon 1Ki 16:15, and by the despicable character of Elah, who, instead of going up to the war, was continually reminding men of his low origin by conduct unworthy of royalty. Steward - The office was evidently one of considerable importance. In Solomons court it gave the rank of שׂר śar, prince.

- 2 Kings 9:31
And as Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, O Zimri, murderer of your master?”
Commentary on 2 Kings 9:312 voices
And as Jehu entered in at the gate,.... Either of the city of Jezreel, or of the king's palace: she said, had Zimri peace, who slew his master? Elah the son of Baasha king of Israel; no, he had not; he reigned but seven days, and, being besieged, burnt the king's house over him, and died, 1Ki 16:10, suggesting that the like would be his fate, who had slain his master Joram; or the words may be rendered, "O Zimri, the slayer of his master"; calling Jehu so, because of his likeness to Zimri.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? - Jarchi paraphrases this place thus: If thou hast slain thy master, it is no new thing; for Zimri also slew Elah, the son of Baasha; which words were rather intended to conciliate than to provoke. But the words are understood by most of the versions thus: Health to Zimri, the slayer of his master!

- 1 Chronicles 2:6
The sons of Zerah: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara—five in all.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:62 voices
And the sons of Zerah,.... The other twin of Judah: Zimri, and Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Dara: five of them in all; the Targum calls them governors, and adds, on whom the spirit of prophecy dwelt; and in the Jewish chronology (n) they are said to prophesy in Egypt; and the four last are supposed to be the same with those in 1Ki 4:31. See Gill on 1Ki 4:31. (n) Seder Olam Rabba, c. 20. p. 52.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The sons of Zerah - Here, for the first time, the writer of Chronicles draws from sources not otherwise known to us, recording facts not mentioned in the earlier Scriptures. Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara, sons of Zerah, are only known to us from this passage, since there are no sufficient grounds for identifying them with the sons of Mahol (marginal reference).

- 1 Chronicles 8:36
Ahaz was the father of Jehoaddah, Jehoaddah was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri, and Zimri was the father of Moza.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:361 voice
And Ahaz begat Jehoadah,.... Called Jarah, 1Ch 9:42. and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza; the same account is given, 1Ch 9:42.

- Jeremiah 25:25
all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
Commentary on Jeremiah 25:252 voices
And all the kings of Zimri,.... Of Arabia Felix, so called from Zimran, a son of Abraham by Keturah, Gen 25:2; the same whom Pliny (n) calls Zamerenes; and all the kings of Elam; or Persia; who are prophesied against in Jer 49:34; and all the kings of the Medes; who commonly go together with the Persians. (n) Nat. Hist. I. 6. c. 28.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Zimri - Descendants of Abraham, by Keturah, Gen 25:2, Gen 25:6. Elam - Called Elymais by the Greeks, was on the south frontier of Media, to the north of Susiana, not far from Babylon.
