OET (OET-RV) and when Yehu came in the gate, she said, “Greetings, Zimri the second, murderer of his master.”

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Jehu he/it_came in,gate and=she/it_said ?,peace Zimrī killing_of master(s)_of,his )
Jezebel is using the question form to challenge Jehu’s apparent expectation that he will rule Israel for the rest of his life after he has killed Ahab’s family. She calls him Zimri to remind him that an earlier military commander had murdered the king but only reigned for seven days after that (see 1 Kings 16:8–20). If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for this purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Do not expect that you will reign peacefully after this for any longer than Zimri did, who also murdered the king and took his place!]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
