And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, [Had] Zimri peace, who slew his master?
2 Kings 9:31 — KJV
Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? Literally, “Is it peace, Zimri, killer of his master?” Zimri was the exterminator of the house of Baasha (1 Kings 16:8-13), but he reigned only seven days. At the end of that period he perished in the struggle with his successor. To him there was no peace. The text as it stands makes Jezebel refer to this ill-fated attempt of Zimri, as if in warning to Jehu. The literal translation, however, conveys a different thought. It makes Jezebel address Jehu as Zimri, as if to say, tauntingly, “Peace, you Zimri, murderer of your master?”
