1 Kings 16:17-22

17And OmriH6018 wentH5927 up from GibbethonH1405, and all IsraelH3478 with him, and they besieged TirzahH8656. 18And it cameH935 to pass, when ZimriH2174 sawH7200 that the cityH5892 wasH1961 takenH3920, that he wentH935 into the castle of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and burnt the king’sH4428 houseH1004 over him with fireH784, and diedH4191, 19for his sinsH2398 which he sinnedH2398 in doing that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and in his sinH2398 which he did, to makeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 20Now the restH3499 of the acts of ZimriH2174, and his treasonH7195 that he wrought, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?

21ThenH227 wereH1961 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 dividedH2505 into two parts: halfH2677 of the peopleH5971 followed TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527, to make him kingH4427; and halfH2677 followed OmriH6018. 22But the peopleH5971 that followed OmriH6018 prevailedH2388 against the peopleH5971 that followed TibniH8402 the sonH1121 of GinathH1527: so TibniH8402 diedH4191, and OmriH6018 reignedH4427.
