Przeciwko któremu sprzysiągł się sługa jego Zambry, hetman nad połowicą rycerstwa. A na ten czas Ela mieszkając w Tersie, był pijanym i oźrałym w domu Arsy, który był sprawcą nad Tersą.
Lecz sprzysiągł się przeciw niemu jego sługa Zimri, dowódca połowy oddziału rydwanów. Ela przebywał wtedy w Tirsie. Siedział akurat przy piwie w domu Arsy, zarządcy pałacu.
Ale sprzysiągł się przeciw niemu jego sługa Zimri, wódz połowy wozów wojennych. Kiedy w Tyrcy Ela się upił, ucztując w domu Arcy – nadzorcy pałacu w Tyrcy,
I sprzysiągł się przeciw niemu sługa jego Zymry, hetman nad połową wozów, gdy Ela w Tersie pijąc pijany był w domu Arsy, który był sprawcą domu królewskiego w Tersie.
A jego sługa Zimri, dowódca połowy rydwanów, uknuł spisek przeciw niemu, gdy w Tirsie Ela oddawał się pijaństwu w domu Arsy, szafarza domu królewskiego w Tirsie.
Lecz Zimri, jego dworzanin, dowódca połowy wozów wojennych, uknuł przeciwko niemu spisek. Gdy pewnego razu upił się w Tirsie w czasie uczty w domu Arsy, który był nadzorcą jego pałacu w Tirsie,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots,.... His military chariots; there were two captains of them, and this was one of them; so the Targum,
"one of the two masters or captains of the chariots:''
conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, steward of his house in Tirzah; who had the charge of his wine and other liquors, to which he was addicted beyond measure; and this was a fit opportunity for Zimri to fall upon him, and slay him, when he was drunk, and off his guard, and his army at the same time was besieging Gibbethon, 1 Kings 16:15 so that there was a very great likeness in what befell the family of Baasha, to that of the family of Jeroboam; for as the son of the one, and of the other, reigned but two years, so they were both slain by their servants, and both at a time when Gibbethon was besieged; the Targum takes this Arza to be the temple of an idol so called, near the royal palace.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The conspiracy of Zimri - Elahâs âservantâ (i. e., âsubjectâ) - was favored by his position, which probably gave him military authority in the city, by the absence of a great part of the people and of the officers who might have checked him, at Gibbethon 1 Kings 16:15, and by the despicable character of Elah, who, instead of going up to the war, was continually reminding men of his low origin by conduct unworthy of royalty.
Steward - The office was evidently one of considerable importance. In Solomonâs court it gave the rank of ש×ר sÌar, prince. In Persia the âsteward of the householdâ acted sometimes as a sort of regent during the kingâs absence.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 16:9. Captain of half his chariots — It is probable that Zimri, and some other who is not here named, were commanders of the cavalry.
