Commentary on Numbers 25:14
The naming of the slain Israelite—'Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites'—emphasizes that this was not a low-status offender but tribal leadership publicly defying God's law. The Hebrew nasi (prince) indicates high rank. Leadership sin is more heinous because it influences the entire community. Zimri's public shamelessness (verse 6) and high position made his judgment exemplary—a warning that status provides no immunity from divine wrath. Leaders are held to higher standards (James 3:1).
