Subjects in this Topic:
ZIMRI.—1. A prince of the tribe of Simeon, slain by Phinehas (Num_25:6-14, 1Ma_2:26). 2. Son of Zerah, and grandfather or ancestor of Achan (1Ch_2:6); called Zabdi in Jos_7:1. 3. A Benjamite (1Ch_8:36; 1Ch_9:42). 4. See next article. 5. ‘All the kings of Zimri’ are mentioned in the same verse, Jer_25:25, with those of Elam and the Medes as among those who were to drink the cup of the fury of the Lord. There is considerable doubt as to what place is meant, or even as to the genuineness of the phrase.
