Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 16:18

18 And it came to pass when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the Kings house, and burnt the kings house over him with fire, and died;

Or, and he burnt, &c. Either, 1. Omri burnt it over Zimri; for Pronouns sometimes respect more remote Nouns. Or rather, 2. Zimri (to whom both the foregoing and following words apparently belong) who burnt it upon himself; that neither himself, nor the Royal Palace and Treasures might come into the hands of his insulting Adversary.
