1 Kings 16:22-24

Common English Bible

²² Omri’s side was stronger than those who followed Tibni, Ginath’s son. So Tibni died and Omri became king. ²³ In the thirty-first year of Judah’s King Asa, Omri became king of Israel. He ruled for twelve years, six of which were in Tirzah. ²⁴ He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two kikkars of silver. He fortified the hill and named the town that he built there after Shemer, the previous owner of the hill of Samaria.
