Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
And he
cried unto
the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith
the LORD,
Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed
the mouth of
the LORD, and hast not kept
the commandment which
the LORD thy God commanded
thee,
and
the prophet
cried out to
the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what
the LORD says: ‘Because you have
defied the word of
the LORD and have not kept
the commandment that
the LORD your God gave you,
But camest back, and hast eaten bread and
drunk water in
the place, of
the which
the LORD did say to
thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy
carcase shall not come unto
the sepulchre of thy fathers.
but you went back and
ate bread and
drank water in
the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach
the tomb of your fathers.’”
And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had
drunk, that he
saddled for him
the ass, to wit, for
the prophet whom he had brought back.
And after
the man of God had finished eating and drinking,
the old prophet who had brought him back
saddled the donkey for him.
And when he was gone, a lion met him by
the way, and
slew him: and his
carcase was cast in
the way, and
the ass stood by it,
the lion also stood by
the carcase.
As he went on his way, a lion met him on
the road and killed him, and his body was left lying in
the road, with
the donkey and
the lion standing beside it.
And, behold, men passed by, and saw
the carcase cast in
the way, and
the lion standing by
the carcase: and
they came and told it in
the city where
the old prophet dwelt.
And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
And when
the prophet that brought him back from
the way heard
thereof, he said, It is
the man of God, who was
disobedient unto
the word of
the LORD:
therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto
the lion, which hath
torn him, and slain him, according to
the word of
the LORD, which he spake unto him.
When
the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is
the man of God who disobeyed
the command of
the LORD.
Therefore the LORD has delivered him to
the lion, and it has
mauled him and killed him, according to
the word that
the LORD had spoken to him.”
and he went and found
the body lying in
the road, with
the donkey and
the lion standing beside it.
The lion had not eaten
the body or
mauled the donkey.
And
the prophet took up
the carcase of
the man of God, and laid it upon
the ass, and brought it back: and
the old prophet came to
the city, to
mourn and to
bury him.
So
the old prophet lifted up
the body of
the man of God, laid it on
the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to
mourn for him and
bury him.
And he laid his
carcase in his own grave; and
they mourned over him, saying,
Alas, my brother!
Then he laid
the body in his own tomb, and
they lamented over him, “Oh, my brother!”
And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead,
then bury me in
the sepulchre wherein
the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
After he had buried him,
the prophet said to his sons, “When I die, you must
bury me in
the tomb where
the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones,
For
the saying which he
cried by
the word of
the LORD against
the altar in
Bethel, and against all
the houses of
the high places which are in
the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
for
the message that he
cried out by
the word of
the LORD against
the altar in
Bethel and against all
the shrines on
the high places in
the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”
After this thing
Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of
the lowest of
the people priests of
the high places:
whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of
the priests of
the high places.
Even after
these events,
Jeroboam did not
repent of his evil ways, but again he appointed priests for
the high places from every class of people. He ordained
anyone who desired to be a priest of
the high places.
And this thing became sin unto
the house of
Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off
the face of
the earth.
And this was
the sin of
the house of
Jeroboam that led to its
extermination and destruction from
the face of
the earth.
And
Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray
thee, and
disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be
the wife of
Jeroboam; and get
thee to
Shiloh: behold,
there is
Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.
And take with
thee ten
loaves, and cracknels, and a
cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell
thee what shall become of
the child.
Take with you ten
loaves of bread, some cakes, and a
jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of
the boy.”
And
Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to
Shiloh, and came to
the house of
Ahijah. But
Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
And
the LORD said unto
Ahijah, Behold,
the wife of
Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of
thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall
feign herself to be another woman.
But
the LORD had said to
Ahijah, “Behold,
the wife of
Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill. You are to say such and such to her, because when she arrives, she will be
disguised.”
And it was so, when
Ahijah heard
the sound of her feet as she came in at
the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of
Jeroboam; why feignest thou
thyself to be another? for I am sent to
thee with heavy
tidings.
So when
Ahijah heard
the sound of her feet entering
the door, he said, “Come in, wife of
Jeroboam! Why are you
disguised? For I have been sent to you with bad news.
Go, tell
Jeroboam, Thus saith
the LORD God of Israel,
Forasmuch as I
exalted thee from among
the people, and made
thee prince over my people Israel,
Go, tell
Jeroboam that this is what
the LORD,
the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among
the people and appointed you ruler over My people Israel.
And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;
I
tore the kingdom away from
the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes.
But hast done evil above all that were before
thee: for thou hast gone and made
thee other gods, and
molten images, to
provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
You have done more evil than all who came before you. You have proceeded to make for
yourself other gods and
molten images to
provoke Me, and you have
flung Me behind your back.
Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon
the house of
Jeroboam, and will cut off from
Jeroboam him that pisseth against
the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away
the remnant of
the house of
Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
Because of all this, behold, I am bringing
disaster on
the house of
Jeroboam: I will cut off from
Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up
the house of
Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone!
Him that dieth of
Jeroboam in
the city shall
the dogs eat; and him that dieth in
the field shall
the fowls of
the air eat: for
the LORD hath spoken it.
Anyone belonging to
Jeroboam who dies in
the city will be eaten by dogs, and
anyone who dies in
the field will be eaten by
the birds of
the air.’ For
the LORD has spoken.
Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
And all Israel shall
mourn for him, and
bury him: for he only of
Jeroboam shall come to
the grave, because in him
there is found some good thing toward
the LORD God of Israel in
the house of
Jeroboam.
All Israel will
mourn for him and
bury him. For this is
the only one belonging to
Jeroboam who will receive a proper burial, because only in him has
the LORD,
the God of Israel, found any good in
the house of
Jeroboam.
Moreover
the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off
the house of
Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
Moreover,
the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off
the house of
Jeroboam. This is
the day—
yes, even
today!
For
the LORD shall
smite Israel, as a reed is
shaken in
the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to
their fathers, and shall
scatter them beyond
the river, because
they have made
their groves,
provoking the LORD to anger.
For
the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is
shaken in
the water. He will
uproot Israel from this good land that He gave
their fathers, and He will
scatter them beyond
the Euphrates, because
they have made
their Asherah poles,
provoking the LORD to anger.
And he shall give Israel up because of
the sins of
Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
So He will give Israel over on account of
the sins
Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
And
Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to
the threshold of
the door,
the child died;
Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and departed for Tirzah, and as soon as she
stepped over
the threshold of
the house,
the boy died.
And
they buried him; and all Israel
mourned for him, according to
the word of
the LORD, which he spake by
the hand of his servant
Ahijah the prophet.
And
they buried him, and all Israel
mourned for him, according to
the word that
the LORD had spoken through His servant
Ahijah the prophet.
And
the rest of
the acts of
Jeroboam, how he
warred, and how he reigned, behold,
they are written in
the book of
the chronicles of
the kings of Israel.
As for
the rest of
the acts of
Jeroboam, how he
waged war and how he reigned,
they are indeed written in
the Book of
the Chronicles of
the Kings of Israel.
And
the days which
Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he
slept with his fathers, and
Nadab his son reigned in his
stead.
And
the length of
Jeroboam’s reign was twenty-two years, and he rested with his fathers, and his son
Nadab reigned in his place.
And
Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah.
Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem,
the city which
the LORD did choose out of all
the tribes of Israel, to put his name
there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
Meanwhile,
Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem,
the city
the LORD had chosen from all
the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah
the Ammonite.
And Judah did evil in
the sight of
the LORD, and
they provoked him to jealousy with
their sins which
they had committed, above all that
their fathers had done.
And Judah did evil in
the sight of
the LORD, and by
the sins
they committed
they provoked Him to
jealous anger more than all
their fathers had done.
For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
There were even male
shrine prostitutes in
the land.
They imitated all
the abominations of
the nations
the LORD had driven out before
the Israelites.
And it came to pass in
the fifth year of king
Rehoboam, that
Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
In
the fifth year of
Rehoboam’s reign,
Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.
And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made.
And king
Rehoboam made in
their stead brasen shields, and committed
them unto
the hands of
the chief of
the guard, which kept
the door of
the king’s house.
Then King
Rehoboam made bronze shields in
their place and committed
them to
the care of
the captains of
the guard on duty at
the entrance to
the royal palace.
And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
And whenever
the king entered
the house of
the LORD,
the guards would bear
the shields, and later
they would return
them to
the guardroom.
Now
the rest of
the acts of
Rehoboam, and all that he did, are
they not written in
the book of
the chronicles of
the kings of Judah?
As for
the rest of
the acts of
Rehoboam, along with all that he did, are
they not written in
the Book of
the Chronicles of
the Kings of Judah?
And
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in
the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his
stead.
And
Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with
them in
the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah
the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
In
the eighteenth year of
the reign of
Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,
Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was
Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
And Abijam walked in all
the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to
the LORD his God as
the heart of David his
forefather had been.
Nevertheless for David’s sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.
Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
And
there was war between
the houses of
Rehoboam and
Jeroboam all
the days of Abijam’s life.
Now
the rest of
the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are
they not written in
the book of
the chronicles of
the kings of Judah? And
there was war between Abijam and
Jeroboam.
As for
the rest of
the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are
they not written in
the Book of
the Chronicles of
the Kings of Judah? And
there was war between Abijam and
Jeroboam.
And Abijam
slept with his fathers; and
they buried him in
the city of David: and
Asa his son reigned in his
stead.
And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in
the City of David, and his son
Asa reigned in his place.
And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His
grandmother’s name was
Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
And
Asa did that which was right in
the eyes of
the LORD, as did David his father.
And
Asa did what was right in
the eyes of
the LORD, as his father David had done.
And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
He banished
the male
shrine prostitutes from
the land and removed all
the idols that his fathers had made.
And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an
idol in a
grove; and
Asa destroyed her
idol, and burnt it by
the brook Kidron.
But
the high places were not removed: nevertheless
Asa’s heart was perfect with
the LORD all his days.
The high places were not removed, but
Asa’s heart was fully devoted to
the LORD all his days.
And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.
And
there was war between
Asa and
Baasha king of Israel all
their days.
Now
there was war between
Asa and
Baasha king of Israel throughout
their days.
And
Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built
Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to
Asa king of Judah.
Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified
Ramah to prevent
anyone from leaving or entering
the territory of
Asa king of Judah.
Then Asa took all
the silver and
the gold that were left in
the treasures of
the house of
the LORD, and
the treasures of
the king’s house, and delivered
them into
the hand of his servants: and king
Asa sent
them to Ben-
hadad,
the son of Tabrimon,
the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
So
Asa withdrew all
the silver and gold that remained in
the treasuries of
the house of
the LORD and
the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent
them with this message to Ben-
hadad son of Tabrimmon,
the son of Hezion king of
Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
There is a league between me and
thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto
thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with
Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
“Let
there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with
Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
And it came to pass, when
Baasha heard
thereof, that he left off building of
Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
Then King
Asa summoned all
the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and
they carried away
the stones of
Ramah and
the timbers
Baasha had used for building. And with
these materials King
Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as
Mizpah.
The rest of all
the acts of
Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and
the cities which he built, are
they not written in
the book of
the chronicles of
the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in
the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Now
the rest of
the acts of
Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and
the cities he built, are
they not written in
the Book of
the Chronicles of
the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.
And
Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in
the city of David his father: and
Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his
stead.
And
Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with
them in
the city of his father David, and his son
Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.
And
Nadab the son of
Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in
the second year of
Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
In
the second year of
Asa’s reign over Judah,
Nadab son of
Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.
And he did evil in
the sight of
the LORD, and walked in
the way of his father, and in his sin
wherewith he made Israel to sin.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
Even in
the third year of
Asa king of Judah did
Baasha slay him, and reigned in his
stead.
In
the third year of
Asa’s reign over Judah,
Baasha killed
Nadab and reigned in his place.
And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he
smote all
the house of
Jeroboam; he left not to
Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto
the saying of
the LORD, which he spake by his servant
Ahijah the Shilonite:
As soon as
Baasha became king, he struck down
the entire household of
Jeroboam. He did not leave to
Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed
them all according to
the word that
the LORD had spoken through His servant
Ahijah the Shilonite,
because of
the sins
Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had
provoked the LORD,
the God of Israel, to anger.
Now
the rest of
the acts of
Nadab, and all that he did, are
they not written in
the book of
the chronicles of
the kings of Israel?
As for
the rest of
the acts of
Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are
they not written in
the Book of
the Chronicles of
the Kings of Israel?
And
there was war between
Asa and
Baasha king of Israel all
their days.
And
there was war between
Asa and
Baasha king of Israel throughout
their days.
In
the third year of
Asa king of Judah began
Baasha the son of
Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
In
the third year of
Asa’s reign over Judah,
Baasha son of
Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.
And he did evil in
the sight of
the LORD, and walked in
the way of
Jeroboam, and in his sin
wherewith he made Israel to sin.
And
Baasha did evil in
the sight of
the LORD and walked in
the way of
Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
Then the word of
the LORD came to
Jehu the son of Hanani against
Baasha, saying,
Then the word of
the LORD came to
Jehu son of Hanani against
Baasha, saying:
Forasmuch as I
exalted thee out of
the dust, and made
thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in
the way of
Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to
provoke me to anger with
their sins;
“Even though I lifted you out of
the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, you have walked in
the way of
Jeroboam and have caused My people Israel to sin and to
provoke Me to anger by
their sins.
So now I will
consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of
Jeroboam son of Nebat:
Him that dieth of
Baasha in
the city shall
the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in
the fields shall
the fowls of
the air eat.
Anyone belonging to
Baasha who dies in
the city will be eaten by dogs, and
anyone who dies in
the field will be eaten by
the birds of
the air.”
Now
the rest of
the acts of
Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are
they not written in
the book of
the chronicles of
the kings of Israel?
As for
the rest of
the acts of
Baasha, along with his accomplishments and might, are
they not written in
the Book of
the Chronicles of
the Kings of Israel?
And also by
the hand of
the prophet
Jehu the son of Hanani came
the word of
the LORD against
Baasha, and against his house, even for all
the evil that he did in
the sight of
the LORD, in
provoking him to anger with
the work of his hands, in being like
the house of
Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
Moreover,
the word of
the LORD came through
the prophet
Jehu son of Hanani against
Baasha and his house, because of all
the evil he had done in
the sight of
the LORD,
provoking Him to anger with
the work of his hands and becoming like
the house of
Jeroboam, and also because
Baasha had struck down
the house of
Jeroboam.
In
the twenty and sixth year of
Asa king of Judah began Elah
the son of
Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
In
the twenty-sixth year of
Asa’s reign over Judah, Elah son of
Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.
And his servant Zimri, captain of half his
chariots,
conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself
drunk in
the house of Arza
steward of his house in Tirzah.
However, while Elah was in Tirzah getting
drunk in
the house of Arza
the steward of his household
there, Elah’s servant Zimri,
the commander of half his
chariots,
conspired against him.
And Zimri went in and
smote him, and killed him, in
the twenty and seventh year of
Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his
stead.
So in
the twenty-seventh year of
Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri went in, struck Elah down, and killed him. And Zimri reigned in his place.
And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he
slew all
the house of
Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
As soon as Zimri began to reign and was seated on
the throne, he struck down
the entire household of
Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether a
kinsman or friend.
Thus did Zimri destroy all
the house of
Baasha, according to
the word of
the LORD, which he spake against
Baasha by
Jehu the prophet,
So Zimri destroyed
the entire household of
Baasha, according to
the word that
the LORD had spoken against
Baasha through
Jehu the prophet.
For all
the sins of
Baasha, and
the sins of Elah his son, by which
they sinned, and by which
they made Israel to sin, in
provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with
their vanities.
This happened because of all
the sins
Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit,
provoking the LORD,
the God of Israel, to anger with
their worthless idols.
Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of Elah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
In
the twenty and seventh year of
Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And
the people were
encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to
the Philistines.
In
the twenty-seventh year of
Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah for seven days. Now
the troops were
encamped against Gibbethon of
the Philistines,
And
the people that were
encamped heard say, Zimri hath
conspired, and hath also slain
the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri,
the captain of
the host, king over Israel that day in
the camp.
and
the people in
the camp heard that Zimri had not only
conspired but had also struck down
the king. So
there in
the camp that very day, all Israel proclaimed Omri,
the commander of
the army, king over Israel.
And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
Then Omri and all the Israelites marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.
And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died,
When Zimri saw that the city was captured, he entered the citadel of the royal palace and burned it down upon himself. So he died
For his sins which he
sinned in doing evil in
the sight of
the LORD, in walking in
the way of
Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
because of
the sins he had committed, doing evil in
the sight of
the LORD and following
the example of
Jeroboam and
the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.

As for the rest of the acts of Zimri and the treason he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half supported Omri.
But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
But the followers of Omri proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.
