Family Killed

Then Zimri, who commanded half of the royal chariots, made plans to kill him.  One day in Tirzah, Elah was getting drunk at the home of Arza, the supervisor of the palace.  Zimri walked in and struck him down and killed him.  This happened in the twenty-seventh year of King Asa’s reign in Judah.  Then Zimri became the next king.  Zimri immediately killed the entire royal family of Baasha, and he did not leave a single male child.  He even destroyed distant relatives and friends.  So Zimri destroyed the dynasty of Baasha as the LORD had promised through the prophet Jehu.  This happened because of the sins of Baasha and his son Elah and because of all the sins they led Israel to commit, arousing the anger of the LORD, the God of Israel, with their idols. (1 Kings 16:9-13 NLT)
