This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Burnt the king’s house over him; or, and he burnt, &c. Either,
1. Omri burnt it over Zimri; for pronouns sometimes respect more remote nouns. Or rather,
2. Zimri, (to whom both the foregoing and following words apparently belong,) who burnt it upon himself, that neither himself nor the royal palace and treasures might come into the hands of his insulting adversary.
