*
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 and first year of Asa king of Judah ,
Omri began to reign over Israel , [
and reigned ]
twelve years :
six years he reigned in Tirzah .
*
And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver ;
and he built on the hill ,
and called the name of the city which he built ,
after the name of Shemer ,
the owner of the hill ,
Samaria .
*
And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh ,
and dealt wickedly above all who were before him .
*
For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat ,
and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin ,
to provoke Yahweh ,
the God of Israel ,
to anger with their vanities .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did ,
and his might that he showed ,
are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel ?
*
So Omri slept with his fathers ,
and was buried in Samaria ;
and Ahab his son reigned in his stead .
