* Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts : half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath to cause him to reign , and the other half after Omri . * And the people that followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath ; and Tibni died , and Omri reigned . * In the thirty first year of Asa the king of Judah , Omri began to reign over Israel , twelve years . He reigned six years in Tirzah ; * then he bought the hill Samaria from Shemer with two talents of silver , and built the hill , and called the name of the city that he built by the name of Shemer , the owner of the hill , that is Samaria . * And Omri did that which was evil in the eyes of Jehovah , and did evil above all who were before him , * and walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin , to provoke to anger Jehovah the God of Israel with their vanities . * And the rest of the acts of Omri that he did , and his might that he attained , are they not written in the of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel ? * And Omri laid down with his fathers , and was buried in Samaria . And his son Ahab reigned in his place .
