Thus it is evident that a part of a year is calculated as a whole year. In the Chinese annals, the whole year in which a king dies is ascribed to his reign, the years of the succeeding king being reckoned only from the beginning of the following year. 1 Kings 16:8Reciprocal14:17 - Tirzah; 15:32 - there was war; 15:33 - twenty and four years; 16:6 - Elah; 16:15 - seven; 16:21 - divided; 16:23 - twelve years; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 15:23 - and reigned two years; 21:19 - two years; Proverbs 28:2 - the transgression Verse 9his servant2 Kings 9:31 conspired1 Kings 15:27; 2 Kings 9:14, 12:20, 15:10, 15:25, 15:30 drinking1 Kings 20:16; 1 Samuel 25:36-38; 2 Samuel 13:28, 13:29; Proverbs 23:29-35; Jeremiah 51:57; Daniel 5:1-4, 5:30; Nahum 1:10; Habakkuk 2:15, 2:16; Matthew 24:49-51; Luke 21:34 steward ofHeb. which was over, Genesis 15:2, 24:2, 24:10, 39:4, 39:9Reciprocal2 Samuel 4:5 - lay on a bed; 1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah; 15:32 - there was war; 20:12 - drinking; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah; 21:23 - General; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; Esther 2:21 - and sought; Proverbs 23:34 - thou; Hosea 7:7 - devoured; Luke 12:20 - God Verse 10Zimri2 Kings 9:31 reigned1 Kings 16:15Reciprocal16:23 - the thirty; 2 Kings 8:15 - so that he died; 15:10 - slew him; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; Jeremiah 41:7 - slew; Luke 12:20 - God Verse 11he slew1 Kings 15:29; Judges 1:7 he left him1 Kings 14:10; 1 Samuel 25:22, 25:34 neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friendsor, both his kinsmen and his friendsReciprocal1 Kings 16:3 - will make thy house; 21:22 - make thine; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; 10:11 - he left Verse 12according1 Kings 16:1-4 by Jehu the prophetHeb. by the hand of Jehu the prophet, 16:1, 16:7, 14:18; 2 Kings 14:25; 2 Chronicles 10:15; Proverbs 26:6Reciprocal1 Kings 16:3 - will make thy house; 17:16 - by Elijah; 2 Kings 9:9 - and like the house; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; 2 Chronicles 19:2 - And Jehu Verse 13in provoking1 Kings 15:30 vanitiesDeuteronomy 32:21; 1 Samuel 12:21; 2 Kings 17:15; Isaiah 41:29; Jeremiah 10:3-5, 10:8, 10:15; Jonah 2:8; Romans 1:21-23; 1 Corinthians 8:4, 10:19, 10:20Reciprocal1 Kings 16:6 - Elah; 16:7 - in provoking; 16:19 - in doing; 16:26 - their vanities; Acts 14:15 - from Verse 14they not written1 Kings 16:5Reciprocal14:19 - book; 15:31 - are they not written; 16:6 - Elah; 16:20 - the rest; 16:27 - the rest Verse 15seven1 Kings 16:8; 2 Kings 9:31; Job 20:5; Psalm 37:35 And the people were encamped1 Kings 15:27; Joshua 19:44, 21:23Reciprocal1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah; 15:21 - Tirzah; 16:10 - reigned; 16:23 - the thirty; 2 Kings 15:13 - a full month; 15:14 - Tirzah; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 16Omri1 Kings 16:30; 2 Kings 8:26; 2 Chronicles 22:2; Micah 6:16Reciprocal2 Kings 9:14 - conspired; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 17besieged TirzahJudges 9:45, 9:50, 9:56, 9:57; 2 Kings 6:24, 6:25, 18:9-12, 25:1-4; Luke 19:43, 19:44Reciprocal1 Kings 15:27 - Gibbethon; 2 Kings 15:14 - Tirzah Verse 18and burnt the king's houseJudges 9:54; 1 Samuel 31:4, 31:5; 2 Samuel 17:23; Job 2:9, 2:10; Matthew 27:5Reciprocal2 Kings 8:15 - so that he died; 1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri; 10:4 - Saul took; Hosea 7:7 - devoured; Acts 16:27 - he drew Verse 19in doing1 Kings 16:7, 16:13, 15:30; Psalm 9:16, 58:9-11 in his1 Kings 12:28, 14:16, 15:26, 15:34Reciprocal16:26 - he walked; 2 Kings 3:2 - General; 21:11 - made Judah; Jeremiah 32:35 - to cause Verse 20the rest1 Kings 16:5, 16:14, 16:27, 14:19, 15:31, 22:39Reciprocal1 Chronicles 2:6 - Zimri Verse 21divided1 Kings 16:8, 16:29, 15:25, 15:28; Proverbs 28:2; Isaiah 9:18-21, 19:2; Matthew 12:25; 1 Corinthians 1:12, 1:13; Ephesians 4:3-5

Jarchi, from Sedar Olam, reconciles this, by stating that Tibni and Omri began to reign jointly in the 27th year of Asa; and that Tibni dying about five years afterwards, Omri began to reign alone in the 31st year of Asa. 2 Chronicles 22:2 twelve years1 Kings 16:8, 16:29ReciprocalJoshua 12:24 - Tirzah; 1 Kings 14:17 - Tirzah Verse 24the name of the city1 Kings 13:32, 18:2, 20:1, 22:37; 2 Kings 17:1, 17:6, 17:24; John 4:4, 4:5; Acts 8:5-8 SamariaHeb.
