Omri slept with his ancestors
(Some words not found in UHB: and,slept ˊĀmərī with fathers_of,his and,buried in/on/at/with,Samaria and,became_king ʼAḩʼāⱱ his/its=son in_~_place,his )
The euphemism “sleeping” here represents dying. Alternate translation: “Omri died as his ancestors had” or “Like his ancestors, Omri died” (See also: figs-euphemism)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
became king in his place
(Some words not found in UHB: and,slept ˊĀmərī with fathers_of,his and,buried in/on/at/with,Samaria and,became_king ʼAḩʼāⱱ his/its=son in_~_place,his )
The phrase “in his place” is a metaphor meaning “instead of him.” Alternate translation: “became king instead of Omri”
16:27-28 the extent of his power: Although mentioned only briefly in the Old Testament, Omri was well known to his contemporaries in surrounding lands. According to the Moabite Stone (Mesha Stela), Omri conquered the territory north of the Arnon River in Moab. Assyrian kings affirmed his importance by calling Israel the “House of Omri.” If, as was common in the ancient Near East, Omri arranged the marriage of his son Ahab to Jezebel (the daughter of Ethbaal, king of Tyre and Sidon, 16:31), he may have enjoyed further political and commercial recognition.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
