+Omri was the second king of Israel (the ten tribes), after his father [[Jeroboam]] who ruled before him, when the [[two kingdoms]] were split.
+There was a brief civil war or at least a strong political split between him and Tibni, where there was some struggle as to who would become king. (1 Kings 16:21-22).  Tibni died, somehow, and Omri became king.
+Omri was a wicked king as well, following in his father's footsteps, and was comparatively more evil (1 Kings 16:25-26).
+The entire story of Omri is in 1 Kings 16:15-28.
