Gill's Notes on the Bible
In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah, c] Until the army under Omri came and took the palace, and destroyed him:
and the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belongeth to the Philistines it was besieged in Nadab's time, but upon his death, by Baasha, the siege was raised; or however, if then taken, it was recovered by the Philistines, and now besieged again by the Israelites, see 1 Kings 15:27.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 16:15. The people were encamped against Gibbethon — It appears that, at this time, the Israelites had war with the Philistines, and were now besieging Gibbethon, one of their cities. This army, hearing that Zimri had rebelled and killed Elah, made Omri, their general, king, who immediately raised the siege of Gibbethon, and went to attack Zimri in the royal city of Tirzah; who, finding his affairs desperate, chose rather to consume himself in his palace than to fall into the hands of his enemies.
