1 Kings 16:17-22

17Then OmriH6018 andH5973 allH3605 the IsraelitesH3478 marched upH5927 from GibbethonH1405 and besiegedH6696H5921 TirzahH8656. 18When ZimriH2174 sawH7200 thatH3588 the cityH5892 was capturedH3920, he enteredH935H413 the citadelH759 of the royalH4428 palaceH1004 and burned it downH8313H784 upon himselfH5921. So he diedH4191 19because ofH5921 the sinsH2403 he had committedH2398, doingH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 and followingH1980 the exampleH1870 of JeroboamH3379 and the sinH2403 he had committedH6213 and had caused IsraelH3478 to commitH2398.

20As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ZimriH2174 and the treasonH7195 he committedH7194, are theyH1992 notH3808 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?

21At that timeH227 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 were dividedH2505: HalfH2677 of the peopleH5971 supportedH1961H310 TibniH8402 sonH1121 of GinathH1527 as kingH4427, and halfH2677 supportedH310 OmriH6018. 22But the followersH5971 of OmriH6018 proved strongerH2388 than thoseH5971 of TibniH8402 sonH1121 of GinathH1527. So TibniH8402 diedH4191 and OmriH6018 became kingH4427.
