The encamping army heard that Zimri had conspired and moreover had killed the king, so they made Omri the commander of the army of Israel king over all Israel in the camp on that day.

Then Omri went up and all Israel with him from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.

At that time, the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people went after Tibni the son of Ginath to make him king, and the other half went after Omri.

The people who went after Omri overcame the people who went after Tibni the son of Ginath, so that he died and Omri became king.

In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel [for] twelve years. He reigned in Tirzah six years,

But Omri did evil in the eyes of Yahweh more than all who were before him.

The remainder of the acts of Omri that he did and his powerful deeds, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?

Omri slept with his ancestors, and he was buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son became king in his place.

Now Ahab son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

But Ahab son of Omri did evil in the eyes of Yahweh more than all who were before him.
