This site's exposition

had caused Israel to commit

on 1 Kings 16:19-20

The verdict on Zimri names the sin charged to every northern king since Jeroboam, “following the example of Jeroboam and the sin he had committed”. Verse 20 closes his seven days with the same chronicle formula and files “the treason he committed”. Every reign, long or short, meets one measure.

This site's exposition

the treason he committed

The treason is the conspiracy of verse 9, and the royal records kept it with the acts of the other kings. Zimri's name outlived his seven days. At 2 Kings 9:31, Jezebel greets Jehu as a Zimri, murderer of your master.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the kings of Israel? What he did both before and after his usurpation, during the seven days he was king, and the manner of his conspiracy, and success in it.
