And when the people that lay in the siege, heard say how Zimri had conspired, and how he had slain the king also: then all Israel made Omri the captain of the men of war king the same day over Israel even in the host.

And Omri departed from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and besieged Tirzah.

Moreover, that same season was Israel divided in twain, for half the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and the other half followed Omri.

But the people that followed Omri prevailed against them that followed Tibni the son of Ginath. And so Tibni died and Omri reigned.

The thirty first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel twelve years and he ruled six years in Tirzah.

And this Omri wrought wickedness in the eyes of the LORD worse than all that were before him,

The rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his power that he used, are written in the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

And Omri laid him to rest with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

The thirty eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, and reigned in Samaria twenty two years.
