Context — Omri Reigns in Israel
19because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the sight of the LORD and following the example of Jeroboam and the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.
20As for the rest of the acts of Zimri and the treason he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
21At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half supported Omri.
22But the followers of Omri proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king. 23In the thirty-first year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.Cross References

1 Kings 16:21 Summary
[This verse shows that the people of Israel were divided, with some wanting Tibni to be king and others wanting Omri, highlighting the challenges of human leadership and the importance of following God's will, as seen in Psalm 37:3-7 and Proverbs 3:5-6. The division among the people reflects the ongoing struggle between faithfulness and disobedience, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-14. By seeking to follow God's commands and trust in His sovereignty, we can avoid the dangers of division and find unity under His leadership, as promised in Ephesians 4:3 and Colossians 3:14.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the cause of the division among the people of Israel in 1 Kings 16:21?
The division among the people of Israel was a result of the power struggle between Tibni son of Ginath and Omri, as they both sought to become king, highlighting the ongoing consequences of sin and rebellion against God, as seen in 1 Kings 15:19 and 1 Kings 16:19.
Who were Tibni son of Ginath and Omri, and why were they important?
Tibni son of Ginath and Omri were two leaders who rose to power in Israel after the brief reign of Zimri, with Omri eventually becoming king, as recorded in 1 Kings 16:21-23, and going on to have a significant impact on Israel's history, as seen in 1 Kings 16:25-28.
How does this division in Israel relate to the broader biblical narrative?
The division among the people of Israel in 1 Kings 16:21 reflects the ongoing struggle between faithfulness and disobedience, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-14, and serves as a reminder of the importance of following God's commands and trusting in His sovereignty, as emphasized in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Jeremiah 29:11.
What can we learn from the fact that half of the people supported Tibni and the other half supported Omri?
The fact that the people were divided between Tibni and Omri highlights the danger of being swayed by human opinions and the importance of seeking God's will, as taught in Romans 12:2 and Proverbs 14:12, and trusting in His guidance, as promised in Psalm 32:8 and Isaiah 58:11.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I may be divided in my own loyalties, and how can I seek to unify my heart and mind under God's leadership?
- How do I handle situations where there are competing voices and opinions, and what role does faith and trust in God play in my decision-making process?
- In what ways can I apply the lesson of seeking God's will, rather than following human leaders or opinions, to my own life and circumstances?
- What does this verse reveal about the nature of human leadership and the importance of submitting to God's sovereignty, and how can I apply this to my own relationships and responsibilities?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Kings 16:21
Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 16:21
The people of Israel fell into a civil war; yet neither this nor any other of God’ s dreadful judgments could win them to repentance; which is an evidence of their prodigious impiety and incorrigibleness, and how ripe they were for ruin. Half of the people followed Tibni, disdaining that the soldiers should usurp such a power over the whole kingdom. Half followed Omri, because they approved the person, though not the manner of his election.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 16:21
1 Kings 16:21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.Ver. 21. Half of the people followed Tibni, &c.] Both Tibni and Omri should have refused these offered honours: considering what had befallen the kings that had gone before them. Macro, captain of the guard, and Laco, knight of the watch, men that had been active in ruinating Sejanus, had great honours appointed them by the Senate. They refused them: and Dion attributeth the reason of their refusal to the terror of an example so fresh in their memories. Dion, in Tiberio.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 16:21
(21) Tibni.—Of him we know nothing. No doubt he also was a military chief—possibly Zimri’s colleague, under the supreme command of Omri—and the LXX. speaks of a brother, Joram, who fought and fell with him. There is an ominous significance in the terse description of the alternatives of fortune in this internecine struggle, “so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.” By comparison of 1 Kings 16:23 with 1 Kings 16:15, it appears that the struggle had lasted four years.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Kings 16:21
Verse 21. Divided into two parts] Why this division took place we cannot tell; the people appear to have been for Tibni, the army for Omri; and the latter prevailed.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 16:21
21–28. Two parties in Israel. Omri’s followers prevail. Reign of Omri, and the building of Samaria (Not in Chronicles) 21. divided into two parts] Probably it was the civil population, which at first followed Zimri, and after his death, Tibni, while the military strength declared for their commander-in-chief Omri. half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath] Of Tibni we have no information but what is to be gathered from this passage. Comparing the date of Omri’s accession in 1 Kings 16:23, viz. the 31st year of Asa, with that of Zimri’s death in the 27th year of the same king (see 1 Kings 16:15) we find that the struggle between the two parties was continued for four years.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 16:21
21. Tibni the son of Ginath — He was probably set up by the people of Tirzah, which was besieged by Omri. There was a class of people that did not wish a king set up and maintained by a military despotism.
