to make Israel to sin
on 1 Kings 16:19-20
The verdict on Zimri names the same sin named on every king since Jeroboam, walking in his way and making Israel to sin, the refrain that falls seventeen times across both books and never changes even as the names do. Verse 20 closes his seven days with the same chronicle formula given every other king, his treason filed beside their acts and might as though the length of a reign made no difference to how the book records it. Kings measures every northern king against one man's sin, not against how long he sat on the throne.
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.
