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

Verse 22 is found in chapter 16 of 1 Kings. Israel is divided between the supporters of Tibni and those of Omri, but Omri eventually prevails. After establishing himself as king, he builds Samaria and makes it the capital. This decision will have enormous importance for the history of the northern kingdom. Samaria becomes Israel’s permanent political center and later a fundamental reference for distinguishing the identity of the northern kingdom.

Aber das Volk, das an Omri hing, ward stärker denn das Volk, das an Thibni hing, dem Sohn Ginaths. Und Thibni starb; da ward Omri König.
Mas el pueblo que seguía a Omri, pudo más que el que seguía a Thibni hijo de Gineth; y Thibni murió, y Omri fue rey.
Ceux qui suivaient Omri l'emportèrent sur ceux qui suivaient Thibni, fils de Guinath. Thibni mourut, et Omri régna.
Ma il popolo, che seguitava Omri, fu più forte che quello che seguitava Tibni, figliuolo di Ghinat; e Tibni morì, ed Omri regnò.
Mas o povo que seguia a Onri foi mais forte do que o povo que seguia a Tibni, filho de Ginate; e Tibni morreu, e Onri reinou.
但隨從 暗利 的百姓勝過隨從 基納 兒子 提比尼 的百姓。 提比尼 死了, 暗利 就作了王。
