House of Zimri

The House of Zimri or the Zimri dynasty was a short-lived reigning dynasty of the Kingdom of Israel. It is depicted in the first of the Books of Kings, where it represents a transitional period between the reigns House of Baasha and the Omrides.^[1]

The House mainly consists of the king Zimri, who lost a civil war against Omri and committed suicide by self-immolation.^[1] In addition, Zimri's successor Tibni has been suggested to be his kinsman^[2] or his sibling.^[3]
