16 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
16 Na hao watu waliokuwako maragoni wakasikia habari ya kwamba Zimri amefanya fitina, tena amempiga mfalme; kwa hiyo Israeli wote wakamfanya Omri, jemadari wa jeshi, awe mfalme juu ya Israeli siku ile maragoni.
