Ruler Mentioned in the Bible by name

Zimri

But his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Once when he [King Elah] was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Argath, who was in charge of the palace (literally: 'was over the house') in Tirzah,

Zimri went there and struck him down and killed him—this happened in the 27th year of Asa's reign over Judah—and reigned in his [Elah's] place.

And Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord (Yahweh) which he had spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu,

In the 27th year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned [only] seven days in Tirtsah [northeast of Shechem; present-day Tell el-Farah]. And the people were encamped against Giveton, which belongs to the Philistines.

And the people who were encamped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired and has also struck down the king." Therefore, all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the stronghold of the king's house, and burned the king's house upon himself with fire, and died.

The rest of Zimri's deeds and his treachery are written in the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

And when Jehu came into the gate, she said, "Shalom (all is well) Zimri, your master's murderer?"
