Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Kings 16:21-28

10. Omri’s evil reign in Israel 16:21-28Controversy over who should succeed to Israel’s throne raged for six years (885-880 B.C.) in Israel and threatened to consume the nation. Civil war followed Zimri’s death (1 Kings 16:21-22). Omri finally overpowered Tibni and probably executed him (1 Kings 16:22). One writer argued that Tibni did not necessarily die but simply passed off the scene. [Note: J. Max Miller, "So Tibni Died," Vetus Testamentum 18 (1968):392-94.] The text seems to contradict... read more

Some Lessons From an Unfamiliar Text 1 Kings 16:25 ; 1 Kings 16:30 I. Very bad men may have worse sons. We are told that Omri was a worse-living man than any other man that had lived up till that time, but he had a son, and it is said of his son that he was worse, worse even than his wicked father. II. Bad men may make things worse by unholy friendships. Ahab was worse than Omri, but Ahab was worse in his manhood than he was in his youth, because he married a woman who stirred him up to do... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:11-34

THE KINGS OF ISRAEL FROM ZIMRI TO AHAB1 Kings 16:11-34As far as we can understand from our meager authorities-and we have no independent source of information-we infer that Elah, son of the powerful Baasha, was a self-indulgent weakling. The army of Israel was encamped against Gibbethon-originally a Levitical town of the Kohathites, in the territory of Dan-which they hoped to wrest from the Philistines. It was during the interminable and intermittent siege of this town that Nadab, the son of... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 16:1-34

The Lord had another servant to bring a solemn message to Baasha. Jehu, the son of Hanani, was the messenger at this time (v.1). Though the history records that Baasha had murdered his master to take his place as king, yet God tells Baasha that He (God) had lifted him out of the dust to make him ruler over Israel. We may be sure Baasha had not considered God at all in his taking the kingdom, but now he is faced with the fact that God required something of him because God had given him the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:1-34

ASA TO AHAB ABIJAM’S BRIEF REIGN IN JUDAH (1 Kings 15:1-8 ) This commentary will permit but the briefest treatment of the less important reigns of Judah and Israel, that more attention may be given to the others. “Abijam” is called “Abijah” in 2 Chronicles 12:16 . Verse 5, referring to David, is to be taken in the comparative sense spoken of in the lesson preceding. Verse 6 is a mistake, as some copies of the text read “Abijam” for “Rehoboam.’ Since Abijam began to reign in the eighteenth... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Kings 16:1-34

Elah, Zimri, and Arza 1Ki 16:16 There was once a king in Israel called Elah. He reigned over Israel in Tirzah two years. He had a servant called Zimri who was a captain of his chariots. Zimri was a born traitor. Treachery was in his very blood. In the case of Elah, Zimri had a marked advantage; for Elah was a drunken fool; he was in the habit of visiting the house of another of his servants, a steward called Arza, and there he had what drink he asked for; and he asked for a good deal, so much... read more
