Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, that when Zimri saw that the city was taken,.... That Omri, and the army with him, had got into it, being a place not much fortified, and Zimri not having force enough to defend it against such an army:
that he went into the palace of the king's house; into the innermost and most splendid, as well as the strongest part of it:
and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and he died; that he might not fall into the hands of his rival, who he might fear would use him ill, and that he might not enjoy the royal palace; though Kimchi thinks that Omri set fire to the palace, and burnt it over the head of Zimri, in which he perished; and this sense the text will bear.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The palace of the kingâs house - The tower of the kingâs house. A particular part of the palace - either the âharem,â or, more probably, the keep or citadel, a tower stronger and loftier than the rest of the palace.
Zimriâs desperate act has been repeated more than once. That the last king of Assyria, the Sardanapalus of the Greeks, thus destroyed himself, is almost the only âfactâ which we know concerning him.
