And news came to the people in the tents that Zimri had made a secret design and had put the king to death: so all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king that day in the tents.

Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, with all the army of Israel, and they made an attack on Tirzah, shutting in the town on every side.

Then there was a division among the people of Israel; half the people were for making Tibni, son of Ginath, king, and half were supporting Omri.

But the supporters of Omri overcame those who were on the side of Tibni, the son of Ginath; and death came to Tibni and to his brother Joram at that time: and Omri became king in the place of Tibni.

In the thirty-first year of Asa, king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and he was king for twelve years; for six years he was ruling in Tirzah.

And Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all those before him,

Now the rest of the acts which Omri did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

So Omri went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

In the thirty-eighth year that Asa was king of Judah, Ahab, the son of Omri, became king over Israel; and Ahab was king in Samaria for twenty-two years.

And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all who went before him.
