Omri (dec 28, 886 BC – jun 24, 874 BC)
Description:
Omri reigned for 12 years and did evil in the sight of the Lord. He led the Israelites into idol worship and was more evil than all the kings before him.
During Omri's reign civic war broke out because half the nation wanted Omri as their king and the other half wanted Tibni to be King.
