Theological / Devotional

Divided. The death of Zimri left Israel with two kings, each ruling over half of the nation. Since Zimri began his short reign of seven days in the 27th year of Asa (vs. 10, 15), and since Tibni and Omri began their reigns at that time, both began to reign in Asa’s 27th year.
