But the people who followed Omri overcame the people who followed Tibni son of Ginath, so Tibni died, and Omri became king.
Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni son of Ginath to make him king, and half followed Omri.
In the thirty-first year of King Asa of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel; he reigned for twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls upon me.
