As for the rest of the acts of Zimri
Zimri's reign was notably brief, lasting only seven days. His actions, though limited in time, were significant enough to be recorded. Zimri's story is a reminder of the instability and turmoil that characterized the Northern Kingdom of Israel during this period. His acts, though not detailed here, would have included his rise to power through the assassination of King Elah and his subsequent self-destruction when Omri besieged Tirzah.

and the treason he committed
Zimri's treason involved the murder of King Elah, the son of Baasha, while Elah was in a drunken state. This act of betrayal highlights the violent and treacherous nature of the political climate in Israel at the time. Treason was a common means of seizing power, reflecting the lack of a stable dynastic succession in the Northern Kingdom. This act can be compared to other biblical accounts of treachery, such as Absalom's rebellion against David.

are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
This phrase indicates that there were other historical records, now lost, that detailed the events of the kings of Israel. The Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel is distinct from the biblical books of Chronicles and served as a source for the authors of Kings. This reference underscores the historical nature of the biblical narrative and suggests that the biblical authors had access to other historical documents. The mention of this book also emphasizes the importance of written records in preserving the history and lessons of Israel's monarchy.

Teaching Points
The Consequences of Sinful Ambition
Zimri's account is a cautionary tale about the dangers of ambition driven by sin. His desire for power led to his downfall, reminding us to seek God's will rather than our own selfish desires.

The Fleeting Nature of Earthly Power
Zimri's seven-day reign illustrates the temporary nature of earthly power and the futility of seeking security in anything other than God.

God's Sovereignty Over History
Despite human schemes and conspiracies, God's sovereign plan prevails. Zimri's brief rule was part of a larger divine account, showing that God is in control of history.

The Importance of Righteous Leadership
The chaos and instability during Zimri's time highlight the need for leaders who are righteous and seek to honor God in their governance.Verse 20. - Now the rest of the acts of Zimri [We see here the tendency of the historian to express himself in formulae. He checks himself, however, and does not add "and all that he did," etc.], and his treason that he wrought [Heb. his conspiracy which he conspired. Though this was all there was to tell of him, yet no doubt it would be recorded at greater length by the historians of the day. We can hardly suppose that the "books of the words of the days" would dismiss so striking an event in a few sentences], are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
