Exegesis
The subject avdo zimri {עַבְדּ֣וֹ זִמְרִ֔י | ʿaḇdôw zimrî} ‘his servant Zimri’ is immediately followed by the construct chain sar machatsit harachev {שַׂר מַחֲצִ֣ית הָרָ֑כֶב | śār maḥaṣṣîṯ hārāḥēb} ‘commander of half the chariots,’ indicating rank through a genitive construct.
In context — 1 Kings 16:9
And his servant Zimri, the commander of half the chariots, conspired against him while he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.
