Melachim Alef 16:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 16:28

So Omri slept with his fathers
Died a natural death:

and was buried in Samaria;
the city he had built, and now the royal seat and metropolis of the kingdom:

and Ahab his son reigned in his stead;
of whom much is said in the following history.

Melachim Alef 16:28 In-Context

26 For he walked in all the derech Yarov‘am Ben Nevat, and in his chattat wherewith he made Yisroel to sin, to provoke Hashem Elohei Yisroel to anger with their havalim (vanities, nothingnesses, i.e., idols)
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his gevurah that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel?
28 So Omri slept with his avot, and was buried in Shomron; and Ach’av Bno reigned as Melech in his place.
29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa Melech Yehudah began Ach’av Ben Omri (Ahab Son of Omri) to reign as Melech over Yisroel; and Ach’av Ben Omri reigned over Yisroel in Shomron twenty and two shanah.
30 And Ach’av Ben Omri did rah in the eyes of Hashem above all that were before him.
