1 Kings 16:22 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

Tibni died. The Hebrew does not enable us to determine whether his death was violent or natural. [The Septuagint adds a clause which implies that Tibni was reinforced by the influential aid of a brother-kai apethane Thabni kai Iooram ho adelfos autou en too kairoo ekeinoo, Tibni and his brother Joram died at that time.]
