1 Kings 16:15-17

Tree of Life Version

Rise of Omri

¹⁵ In the twenty-seventh year of King Asa of Judah, Zimri reigned for seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon of the Philistines. ¹⁶ When the people encamped heard it said, “Zimri has conspired and even struck down the king,” then all Israel proclaimed Omri—the commander of the army—king over Israel that very day in the camp. ¹⁷ Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.
