<p> '''Tib'ni.''' ''(Intelligent).'' After [[Zimri]] had burnt himself in his palace, there was a division in the northern kingdom, half of the people following Tibni, the son of Ginath, and half following Omri. &nbsp;1 Kings 16:21-22. [[Omri]] was the choice of the army; [[Tibni]] was, probably, put forward by the people of Tirzah, which was, then, besieged by Omri and his host. The struggle between the contending factions lasted four years, compare &nbsp;1 Kings 16:16; &nbsp;1 Kings 16:23, (B.C. 926-922), when-Tibni died. </p>

<p> Son of Ginath. After Zimri had burned himself to death half the people followed Tibni, half Omri. The contest lasted four years (&nbsp;1 Kings 16:18; &nbsp;1 Kings 16:21-22), and issued in the death of Tibni and in Omri's accession. The men of [[Tirzah]] which Omri besieged probably promoted the cause of Tibni. The [[Septuagint]] say [[Joram]] his brother helped his cause. </p>

<p> (Heb. Tibni', '''''תַּבְנַי''''' , perhaps ''Intelligent'' ; Sept. '''''Θαμνί''''' ; Josephus, '''''Θαβναῖος''''' , Ant. 8:12, 5; Vulg. ''Thebni'' ) '','' the sixth king of Israel, B.C. 926- 922. After Zimri had burned himself in his palace, there was a division in the northern kingdom, half of the people following Tibni the son of Ginath, and half following Omri (&nbsp;1 Kings 16:21-22). Omri was the choice of the army. Tibni was probably put forward by the people of Tirzah, which was then besieged by Omri and his host. The struggle between the contending factions lasted four years (comp. &nbsp;1 Kings 16:15; &nbsp;1 Kings 16:23); but the only record of it is given in the few words of the historian: "The people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibii died, and Omiri reigned." The Sept. adds that Tibni was bravely seconded by his brother Joram. But Josephlus knows nothing of this apocryphal addition. (See [[Kingdom Of Israel]]). </p>

<p> ''''' tib´nı̄ ''''' ( תּבני , <i> ''''' tibhnı̄ ''''' </i> ; Codex Vaticanus Θαμνεί , <i> ''''' Thamneı́ ''''' </i> , Codex Alexandrinus Θαμνί , <i> ''''' Thamnı́ ''''' </i> , [[Lucian]] Θαβεννεί , <i> ''''' Thabenneı́ ''''' </i> ): A rival of Omri for the throne of Israel after the death of Zimri (&nbsp; 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 &nbsp; 1 Kings 16:15 ) shows that the length of the struggle was four years. </p>
