| Tibni Fausset's Bible Dictionary
|
|
| Son of
Ginath. After Zimri had burned himself to death half the people followed
Tibni, half Omri. The contest lasted four years (1Ki_16:18;
1Ki_16:21-22),
and issued in the death of Tibni and in Omri's accession. The men of
Tirzah which Omri besieged probably promoted the cause of Tibni. The
Septuagint say Joram his brother helped his cause.
