His sins are not detailed in this verse, but the context of <a href="/1_kings/16.htm">1 Kings 16</a> reveals a pattern of idolatry and rebellion against God. The sins of the kings of Israel often included idol worship, which was a direct violation of the first two commandments (<a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3-4</a>). This phrase underscores the biblical principle that sin has consequences, often leading to judgment and downfall.doing evil in the sight of the LORD This phrase is a common biblical expression used to describe actions that are contrary to God's will and commandments. It emphasizes that God is the ultimate judge of human actions, and His perspective is what defines good and evil. The phrase suggests that Zimri's actions were not just politically or socially wrong, but morally and spiritually offensive to God. This aligns with the biblical theme that God sees and judges the heart and actions of individuals (<a href="/1_samuel/16-7.htm">1 Samuel 16:7</a>).and following the example of Jeroboam Jeroboam was the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy. He is infamous for establishing idol worship in Israel, setting up golden calves in Bethel and Dan (<a href="/1_kings/12-28.htm">1 Kings 12:28-30</a>). By following Jeroboam's example, Zimri perpetuated the sin of idolatry, leading the people away from the worship of Yahweh. This highlights the influence of leaders on the spiritual direction of a nation and the long-lasting impact of their actions.and the sin he had committed This refers back to Jeroboam's specific sin of introducing and institutionalizing idol worship in Israel. Jeroboam's actions were a direct challenge to the worship of the one true God and were motivated by political expediency to prevent the people from returning to Jerusalem to worship (<a href="/1_kings/12-26.htm">1 Kings 12:26-27</a>). This sin set a precedent for subsequent kings, including Zimri, who continued in this idolatrous practice.and had caused Israel to commit The phrase indicates the corporate nature of sin and its impact on the community. Jeroboam's sin was not just personal but had national repercussions, leading the entire nation into idolatry. This reflects the biblical understanding that leaders bear responsibility for the spiritual state of their people. It also serves as a warning of how individual sin can have widespread consequences, affecting not just the sinner but also those around them. This concept is echoed in other parts of Scripture, such as the sin of Achan affecting the entire nation of Israel (Joshua 7).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/z/zimri.htm">Zimri</a> A king of Israel who reigned for only seven days.

[It is quite clear that in his reign of one week Zimri cannot have done much to show his complicity in the schism of Jeroboam, and it is probable that the sacred writer means that his character and antecedents were such as to prove that all his sympathies were with the irreligious party. Bahr thinks that he had "formerly displayed much partiality for the calf worship." But it is quite as likely that the idea in the historian's mind was that all these events were the bitter fruits of Jeroboam's misguided and impious policy, into the spirit of which, Zimri, like his predecessors, had been baptized. It is interesting to remember here the aspect these repeated revolutions and assassinations would wear to the kingdom of Judah, then enjoying quietness and prosperity under Asa. We cannot doubt for a moment that they were regarded as so many manifestations of the righteous judgment of God, and as the outcomes of that spirit of insubordination and impiety which, in their eyes, had brought about both the division of the kingdom and the schism in the church.] <a href="/commentaries/1_kings/16-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>because of עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the sins חַטֹּאתָיו֙ (ḥaṭ·ṭō·ṯāw) Noun - feminine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2403.htm">Strong's 2403: </a> An offence, its penalty, occasion, sacrifice, expiation, an offender he had committed, חָטָ֔א (ḥā·ṭā) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2398.htm">Strong's 2398: </a> To miss, to sin, to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, lead astray, condemn doing לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת (la·‘ă·śō·wṯ) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make evil הָרַ֖ע (hā·ra‘) Article | Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7451.htm">Strong's 7451: </a> Bad, evil in the sight בְּעֵינֵ֣י (bə·‘ê·nê) Preposition-b | Noun - cdc <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5869.htm">Strong's 5869: </a> An eye, a fountain of the LORD יְהוָ֑ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel and following לָלֶ֙כֶת֙ (lā·le·ḵeṯ) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1980.htm">Strong's 1980: </a> To go, come, walk the example בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ (bə·ḏe·reḵ) Preposition-b | Noun - common singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1870.htm">Strong's 1870: </a> A road, a course of life, mode of action of Jeroboam יָרָבְעָ֔ם (yā·rā·ḇə·‘ām) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3379.htm">Strong's 3379: </a> Jeroboam -- 'the people increase', the name of two Israelites kings and the sin וּבְחַטָּאתוֹ֙ (ū·ḇə·ḥaṭ·ṭā·ṯōw) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2403.htm">Strong's 2403: </a> An offence, its penalty, occasion, sacrifice, expiation, an offender he had committed עָשָׂ֔ה (‘ā·śāh) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make and had caused Israel יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc to commit. לְהַחֲטִ֖יא (lə·ha·ḥă·ṭî) Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2398.htm">Strong's 2398: </a> To miss, to sin, to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, lead astray, condemn <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/1_kings/16-19.htm">1 Kings 16:19 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/1_kings/16-19.htm">OT History: 1 Kings 16:19 For his sins which he sinned (1Ki iKi i Ki 1 Kg 1kg) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_kings/16-18.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Kings 16:18"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Kings 16:18" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_kings/16-20.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Kings 16:20"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Kings 16:20" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
