In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah — Omri's reign synchronizes with Asa's thirty-first year. The phrase notes his twelve-year rule, making him one of the north's longest-reigning monarchs. His reign marks a turning point: more military stability, though continued religious apostasy.
