Zimri
The name Zimri is assigned five times in the Bible, firstly and most ominously as the Simeonite son of Salu, who brings his Midianite play mate Cozbi into the camp during the Peor incident. Both he and Cozbi are executed by Phinehas. Other Zimri's are; a grandson of Judah through Zerah (1 Chr 2:6), a Benjaminite (1 Chr 8:36), a murderous and suicidal king of Israel for seven days, before Omri (1 Ki 16:8-20), a kingdom in Ethiopia according to BDB (Jer 25:25). |
(zamar 558-560):
