1. 1 Kings 16:21

   At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half supported Omri.

   ›Commentary on 1 Kings 16:211 voice

   “Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts,.... About the succession in the kingdom: half the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king: these were the friends of Zimri, or however such who did not like that the army should impose a king upon them; who this Tibni was is not said: and half followed Omri; the general of the army, perhaps the whole of that.

2. 1 Kings 16:22

   But the followers of Omri proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.

   ›Commentary on 1 Kings 16:222 voices

   “Tibni died--The Hebrew does not enable us to determine whether his death was violent or natural.

   “From a comparison of the dates given in 1Ki 16:15, 1Ki 16:23, 1Ki 16:29 it follows that the contest between the two pretenders lasted four years. Tibni’s death can scarcely be supposed to have been natural. Either he must have been slain in battle against Omri, or have fallen into his hands and been put to death. There has probably been some derangement of the text here. The passage may have run thus: “So Tibni died, and Omri reigned in the thirty-first year of Asa, king of Judah.
