Context of 1 Kings 16:20

18When Zimri saw that the city had been captured, he went into the stronghold in the royal palace and burned down the palace over his own head. He died 19because of the sins he had committed—the things the Lord considered evil. Zimri lived like Jeroboam and led Israel to sin. Isn’t everything else about Zimri and his plot written in the official records of the kings of Israel? 21Then the army of Israel was divided into two factions. Half of the army followed Tibni, son of Ginath, and wanted to make him king. The ⌞other⌟ half followed Omri. 22But the half which followed Omri was stronger than the half which followed Tibni, Ginath’s son. Tibni died, and Omri became king.
