In the context of ancient Israel, servants often held substantial power, especially in military roles. Zimri's position as a commander suggests he was trusted and skilled, yet his actions reveal the potential for betrayal even among those closest to power.<p><b>commander of half his chariots</b><br />The chariot was a symbol of military might and technological advancement in ancient Israel. Being a commander of half the chariots indicates Zimri's high rank and strategic importance. This role would have given him access to military resources and personnel, making his conspiracy feasible. The division of chariots suggests a structured military hierarchy, reflecting the organized nature of Israel's army.<p><b>conspired against him</b><br />The act of conspiracy (&#1511;&#1464;&#1513;&#1463;&#1473;&#1512; - qashar in Hebrew) involves secret planning to overthrow or harm. This word indicates a deliberate and premeditated action, highlighting the theme of betrayal and the fragility of human loyalty. In the biblical narrative, conspiracies often lead to significant shifts in power, serving as a reminder of the ever-present danger of internal strife.<p><b>while Elah was in Tirzah</b><br />Tirzah was a significant city in the Northern Kingdom of Israel, serving as a royal residence before Samaria. Its mention here underscores its importance as a political and administrative center. Elah's presence in Tirzah suggests he was engaged in royal duties or leisure, unaware of the impending threat. The city's historical and archaeological significance provides insight into the political landscape of the time.<p><b>getting drunk</b><br />The act of getting drunk (&#1513;&#1464;&#1473;&#1514;&#1464;&#1492; - shatah in Hebrew) is often associated with a lack of self-control and vulnerability. In the biblical context, drunkenness is frequently depicted as leading to poor judgment and moral failure. Elah's intoxication symbolizes his negligence and unpreparedness, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of indulgence and the need for vigilance.<p><b>in the house of Arza</b><br />Arza, described as being "in charge of the palace," held a position of trust and responsibility. His house being the setting for Elah's drunkenness suggests a close relationship or alliance. This detail highlights the interconnectedness of personal and political spheres in ancient Israel, where domestic spaces often served as venues for political intrigue.<p><b>who was in charge of the palace at Tirzah</b><br />Being in charge of the palace (&#1488;&#1458;&#1513;&#1462;&#1473;&#1512; &#1506;&#1463;&#1500;&#1470;&#1492;&#1463;&#1489;&#1463;&#1468;&#1497;&#1460;&#1514; - asher al-habayit) was a prestigious role, akin to a chief steward or prime minister. This position involved managing the king's household and affairs, indicating Arza's significant influence. The mention of the palace at Tirzah emphasizes the centrality of this location in the narrative and the gravity of the events unfolding within its walls.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_kings/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9) <span class= "bld">Drinking himself drunk.</span>--There seems an emphasis of half-contemptuous condemnation in the description of Elah's debauchery, evidently public, and in the house of a mere officer of his household, while war was raging at Gibbethon. On the other hand, Zimri--noted emphatically as "his servant"--was apparently the high officer left in special charge of the palace and the king's person, while the mass of the army was in the field. Hence his name passed into a proverb for unusual treachery. (See <a href="/2_kings/9-31.htm" title="And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?">2Kings 9:31</a>.)<span class= "bld"><p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_kings/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 9.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And his servant</span> [Not only "subject," as Rawlinson, but officer.

That prince was "hoist with his own petard." <p><span class="note_emph">(3)</span> Elah would seem to have been a dissolute and pusillanimous prince. His place was clearly with his army at Gibbethon (ver. 15; cf. <a href="/joshua/8-12.htm">Joshua 8:12</a>. 4). And as clearly it was not in the house of one of his subjects, even the intendant of his palace. "An Oriental monarch... is precluded by etiquette from accepting the hospitality of his subjects" - Rawlinson, who further remarks that the low tastes which we here find Elah indulging" had probably been formed before his father was exalted <span class="accented">out of the dust</span>." As probably they were inherited direct from his father. Anyhow, they led to his destruction. It is clear that Elah's want of character, like Nadab's, suggested the conspiracy of Zimri. . . . <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_kings/16-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">However, while Elah</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1493;&#1456;&#1492;&#1444;&#1493;&#1468;&#1488;</span> <span class="translit">(w&#601;&#183;h&#363;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw &#124;
