Explanation preview
This brief notice closes the account of Omri, king of the northern kingdom of Israel, who reigned twelve years and built Samaria as his capital. "Rested with his fathers" is the standard formula for a king's death and burial, and it places Omri in the line of kings whose deeds are recorded elsewhere.
