1 Kings 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.

1 Kings 16:28 In-Context

26 For he walked in all the way of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and in the sins which he made Israel to sin, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols.

27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

28 And Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Sama'ria; and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Sama'ria twenty-two years.

30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD more than all that were before him.
