When Zimri, after a reign of seven days, had ended his life, the people of Israel were divided into two factions, one siding with Omri, and the other with Tibni.
Omri's followers gained the upper hand; and, finally, Tibni having died, Omri was declared king (I Kings xvi.
From a comparison of verses 15 and 23 of the chapter just cited, it appears that Tibni was regent over half the kingdom of Israel for a period of four years.
Tibni ("building of Jehovah") was a claimant to the throne of the Israel, and the son of Ginath, a man of some position.
Albright has dated his reign to 876 - 881 BC, while Thiele offers the dates 885 - 880 BC.
Following the death of Zimri, a considerable number of the people chose Tibni as monarch, and he contended for the throne against Omri over the next few years (1 Kings 16:21, 22), only to be defeated.
Omri defeated Tibni, a pretender, and moved his capital from Tirzah to Samaria, thenceforth the chief city of Israel.
Omri is mentioned on the Moabite stone and on Assyrian inscriptions, which call Israel “the land of Omri.”; Omri was in close touch with the Syrian petty kingdoms, and his son Ahab's marriage with Jezebel was a result of this alliance.
