	Zimri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zimri was the Prince of the Tribe of Simeon during the time of the Israelites in the desert.
		Zimri openly defied Moses before the people who were standing at the entrance of the Tabernacle by going in to the Midianite, but Phinehas, grandson of Aaron, killed them both by impaling them on a spear.
		In John Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel, the character of Zimri stands for the Duke of Buckingham.

		Zimri, the Israelite man who was killed, was a leader of a Simeonite family.
		It's interesting to note that Cozbi, the woman responsible for Zimri's downfall, was the daughter of Zur; which means, "the rock." Cozbi was a daughter of the rock.
		Even though Zimri knew the requirements God placed upon his chosen ones, it appears as if he momentarily lost sight of who he was and what was expected of him.

		In the midst of the festivity Zimri killed the king and all the house of Baasha, the predecessor of Elah; but when the army, then engaged in the siege of the Philistine town of Gibbethon, heard of the assassination, it immediately proclaimed its general

	Clarke's Commentary - 1 Kings 16
		Zimri conspires against him, and slays him and his family, and reigns seven days, 8-15.
		He slew all the house of Baasha] He endeavoured to exterminate his race, and blot out his memory; and the Jews say, when such a matter is determined, they not only destroy the house of the person himself, but the five neighbouring houses, that the memory of such a person may perish from the earth.
		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.

	Lover of Peace or Fanatic?
		Once this "philosophy" is understood, the act of Kozbi and Zimri, from their perspective, was not a "crime of passion" as it were, but the culmination of worship of Baal.
		Zimri was son of Saluah, a prince from the tribe of Shimon.
		We may thus conclude that the act of Zimri was one which had support among the rank and file of his tribe.

		If Zimri had pulled out [and was not in the act of sinful coitus when killed], Pinchas would have been liable for murder.

		Zimri is playing his own political game, so he brings his date before Moses, sitting in judgment with the other Jewish leaders.

		Pinchas, He attested, inherited the peace-loving nature of his grandfather, while Zimri was every inch a descendent of Shimon, whom Jacob rebuked for his heated and violent nature.

	Pinchas vs. Zimri: Authority vs. Anarchy - Rabbi Yaakov Neuburger
		This sad parsha culminates with Zimri’s ever so feeble and equally brazen attempt to protect his own act of decadence and that of his kinsmen, by publicly questioning the validity of Moshe’s longstanding marriage.
		Zimri meets his end through the fiery zealousness of Pinchas.
		Interestingly, though Pinchas was halachicaly (kanoin pogin bo) responding to Zimri’s act of decadence, Zimri’s death is related to the idolatrous service of Ba’al Peor, even though it seems to be mildly connected at best.

		Our commentators understand that what Kozbi and Zimri, who are given names -as well as titles- during this week’s portion, were doing was actually fornicating (how often do I get to use that word) in front of the entire community, as well as Moshe, and it was for this reason that Pinchas slew them.
