(intelligent). After Zimri had burnt himself in his palace, there
was a division in the northern kingdom, half of the people following
Tibni, the son of Ginath, and half following Omri.
1Ki_16:21-22. Omri
was the choice of the army; Tibni was, probably, put forward by the
people of Tirzah, which was, then, besieged by Omri and his host. The
struggle between the contending factions lasted four years, compare
1Ki_16:16;
1Ki_16:23,
(B.C. 926-922), when-Tibni died.
