+ | 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. |
