1 Kings 16:22-24

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²² But the people who followed Omri prevailed against those who followed Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri reigned.

²³ In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began his reign of twelve years over Israel. He reigned six years in Tirzah.

²⁴ Omri bought the hill Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He built a city on the hill and fortified it, and called it Samaria (Shomeron), after the owner of the hill, Shemer.
