1 Kings 16:16And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.1 Kings 16:17And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.1 Kings 16:21Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.1 Kings 16:22But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.1 Kings 16:23In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.1 Kings 16:25But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him.1 Kings 16:27Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?1 Kings 16:28So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.1 Kings 16:29And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.1 Kings 16:30And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.
