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.
But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years.
He reigned six years in Tirzah.
