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.

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