ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૧૬:૧૮
જયારે ઝિમ્રીને ખબર પડી કે નગરને જીતી લેવામાં આવ્યું છે ત્યારે તેણે રાજમહેલના કિલ્લામાં જઈને આખા મહેલને આગ લગાડી અને તે પોતે પણ બળીને મૃત્યુ પામ્યો.
हिन्दी1 राजाओं १६:१८
जब जिम्री ने देखा, कि नगर ले लिया गया है, तब राजभवन के गुम्मट में जाकर राजभवन में आग लगा दी, और उसी में स्वयं जल मरा।

In context

16The people who were encamped heard that Zimri had conspired, and had also killed the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

17Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

18When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the fortified part of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire, and died,

19for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did to make Israel to sin.

20Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
