16. And when they had heard that Zimri had rebelled, and that he had killed the king, all of Israel made Omri as a king for themselves; he was the leader of the military over Israel in the encampment in that day.
17. Therefore, Omri ascended, and all of Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.
