This is an old revision of the document!
Omri
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).
Omri was a wicked king as well, worse than his father Jeroboam (1 Kings 16:25-26).
The entire story of Omri is in 1 Kings 16:15-28.
