1 Kings 16:17-22

17Omri along with all Israel marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.

18When Zimri saw that the city was captured, he entered the citadel of the royal palace and burned it down over himself. He died

19because of the sin he committed by doing what was evil in the Lord’s sight and by walking in the ways of Jeroboam and the sin he caused Israel to commit.

20The rest of the events of Zimri’s reign, along with the conspiracy that he instigated, are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings.

21At that time the people of Israel were divided: half the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.

22However, the people who followed Omri proved stronger than those who followed Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.
