Numbers 25:14
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites. Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
The naming belongs to the account of Israel's apostasy at Baal-peor at the Jordan. The Israelite slain together with the Midianite woman was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites. His high rank shows that the rulers and leading men were among the first to transgress, so that the sin of the people became national in character. His death as one destroyed for following Baal-peor stands in contrast with those who remained faithful to the Lord.
