tib´nı̄ ( תּבני , tibhnı̄ ; Codex Vaticanus Θαμνεί , Thamneı́ , Codex Alexandrinus Θαμνί , Thamnı́ , Lucian Θαβεννεί , Thabenneı́ ): A rival of Omri for the throne of Israel after the death of Zimri ( 1 Kings 16:21 f). This is the only reference to Tibni that has come down to us; a comparison of this passage with the account of Zimri's death (especially 1 Kings 16:15 ) shows that the length of the struggle was four years.
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) was edited by James Orr, John Nuelsen, Edgar Mullins, Morris Evans, and Melvin Grove Kyle and was published complete in 1939. This web site includes the complete text.
WikipediaThe ISBE is a classic Bible reference compiled from nearly 10,000 entries written by over 200 different Bible scholars and teachers. In addition to the encyclopedia articles, all of the major words of the Bible are represented and defined.
The historical, cultural, and linguistic information in the ISBE can be of great value in Bible study and research.
But as with any writings of men, the careful student of the Bible must always compare them with Scripture. As you use this helpful study resource, remember that only God's word is pure.
