Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 16:1-14

Here is, I. The ruin of the family of Baasha foretold. He was a man likely enough to have raised and established his family?active, politic, and daring; but he was an idolater, and this brought destruction upon his family. 1. God sent him warning of it before. (1.) That, if he were thereby wrought upon to repent and reform, the ruin might be prevented; for God threatens, that he may not strike, as one that desires not the death of sinners. (2.) That, if not, it might appear that the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 16:15-28

Solomon observes (Prov. 28:2) that for the transgression of a land many were the princes thereof (so it was here in Israel), but by a man of understanding the state thereof shall be prolonged?so it was with Judah at the same time under Asa. When men forsake God they are out of the way of rest and establishment. Zimri, and Tibni, and Omri, are here striving for the crown. Proud aspiring men ruin one another, and involve others in the ruin. These confusions end in the settlement of Omri; we must... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:10

And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him ,.... When in his drunken fit: and this was in the twenty seventh year of Asa ; when Elah had not reigned two full years: and reigned in his stead ; that is, Zimri; his reign was short indeed, but seven days, 1 Kings 16:15 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:11

And it came to pass when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne ,.... Perhaps the very first day, that he slew all the house of Baasha ; his whole family, all the children that he had, that there might be none to make pretensions to the throne: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks nor of his friends ; not any that might avenge the blood of his family, that might have a right or inclination to do it. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:12

Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet. That not only his posterity, but all any way related to him, should be cut off; yea, it seems to have been carried further, even to all that were in any connection with him in point of friendship, see 1 Kings 16:3 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:13

For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son ,.... By which it appears that the son trod in the steps of his father, and was therefore cut off: by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities ; their idols, which had nothing in them, and cannot be of any service to their worshippers; and to serve such, and neglect the worship of the true God, and draw others into the same iniquity, must be very... read more

Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? See 1 Kings 16:5 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:15

In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah , &c.; Until the army under Omri came and took the palace, and destroyed him: and the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belongeth to the Philistines ; it was besieged in Nadab's time, but upon his death, by Baasha, the siege was raised; or however, if then taken, it was recovered by the Philistines, and now besieged again by the Israelites, see 1 Kings 15:27 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:16

And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king ,.... Tidings came to the army of what he had done, which was displeasing to them: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp ; that is, all Israel that were in the army proclaimed Omri, their general, king; just as the Roman army declared Vespasian, their general, emperor of Rome, and as several of the emperors were chosen. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:17

And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him ,.... He, and the army under him, broke up the siege of that place, and marched to Tirzah; which, according, to Bunting F3 Travels, &c.; p. 162. were thirty six miles distant from each other: and they besieged Tirzah; the royal city, in which Zimri was. read more
