The Message
1 Kings 16:26-28
The Message
25-26 But as far as God was concerned, Omri lived an evil life—set new records in evil. He walked in the footsteps of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who not only sinned but dragged Israel into his sins, making God angry—such an empty-headed, empty-hearted life!
27-28 The rest of Omri’s life, the mark he made on his times, is written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. Omri died and was buried in Samaria. His son Ahab was the next king after him.

1 Kings 16:26-28
New International Version
26 He followed completely the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused(A) Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.(B)
27 As for the other events of Omri’s reign, what he did and the things he achieved, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 28 Omri rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria.(C) And Ahab his son succeeded him as king.
