Omri’s reign over Yisrael

1 Ki 16:21–28

21At that time, the people of Yisrael were divided concerning their leadership—half of them supported Ginnat’s son Tivni as king, and the other half supported Omri, 22but those supporting Omri prevailed, so Tivni was executed and Omri remained in power. 23Omri became king in the thirty-first years of King Asa’s reign over Yehudah, and reigned over Yisrael for twelve years—six of them from Tirtsah. 24He bought a hill from a man named Shemer for seventy kilograms of silver, then built his capital city on it. He named it Shomron (Samaria) in honour of Shemer who’d owned the hill.

25Omri did what Yahweh had said was evil—in fact he did more evil things than all those kings who preceded him. 26He followed (Nabat’s son) Yarave’am’s behaviour including causing Yisrael to sin by provoking Yisrael’s God Yahweh to get angry with their idols. 27Everything else that Omri did, including his military victories, is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yisrael. 28Then Omri died and was buried in Shomron, and his son Ahav (Ahab) replaced him as king.
