It is no wonder that there arose division within the people after this bizarre week. Two parties opposed each other. Tibni and Ginath are unknown names. A kind of civil war ensued in which Omri’s henchmen win. Tibni, Ginath’s son, is killed and Omri became king. In Judah, King Asa was still on the throne.
21 Alors le peuple d'Israël se divisa en deux partis: une moitié du peuple voulait faire roi Thibni, fils de Guinath, et l'autre moitié était pour Omri.
