*
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 .
