In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.

16:23 Twelve years - That is, and he reigned twelve years, not from this thirty - first year of Asa, for he died in his thirty - eighth year, ver.29, but from the beginning of his reign, which was in Asa's twenty - seventh year, ver.15,16. So he reigned four years in a state of war with Tibni, and eight years peaceably.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

1Ki 16:23-28. Omri Builds Samaria.

23. In the thirty and first year of Asa . began Omri to reign-The twelve years of his reign are computed from the beginning of his reign, which was in the twenty-seventh year of Asa's reign. He held a contested reign for four years with Tibni; and then, at the date stated in this verse, entered on a sole and peaceful reign of eight years.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:15-28 When men forsake God, they will be left to plague one another. Proud aspiring men ruin one another. Omri struggled with Tibni some years. Though we do not always understand the rules by which God governs nations and individuals in his providence, we may learn useful lessons from the history before us. When tyrants succeed each other, and massacres, conspiracies, and civil wars, we may be sure the Lord has a controversy with the people for their sins; they are loudly called to repent and reform. Omri made himself infamous by his wickedness. Many wicked men have been men of might and renown; have built cities, and their names are found in history; but they have no name in the book of life.

1 Kings 15:21 When Baasha heard of it, he ceased fortifying Ramah and remained in Tirzah. (NASB ©1995)

A.M. 3079-3086 B.C. 925-918
the thirty As it is stated in verse 10 and 15, that Zimri began to reign in the 27th year of Asa; and as he reigned only {seven} days, and Omri immediately succeeded him, this could not be the 31st, but in the 27th year of Asa. Jarchi, from {Sedar Olam}, reconciles this, by stating that Tibni and Omri began to reign {jointly} in the 27th year of Asa; and that Tibni dying about {five} years afterwards, Omri began to reign {alone} in the 31st year of Asa. 2Ch 22:2
