Zimri (bad) Rules in Israel for 7 days and burns the house down with himself in it. King Omri (extra bad) rules in Israel for 12 years. King Ahab (the worst) - his son - rules in Israel for 22 years. The Old Covenant has NO POWER to transform or cleanse hearts and the bible says to walk away from it and do not go back to it (Joshua 6:26; Hebrews 8:13)
