OMRI, 1. King of Israel

1 Kings 16:17-22

17. OMRI went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
18. When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the fortified part of the king's house, and burned the king's house over him with fire, and died,
19. for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in The LORD's sight, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
20. Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
21. Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed OMRI.
22. But the people who followed OMRI prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and OMRI reigned.
