So we’re camped round Gibbethon, fighting the Philistines, and word comes in: Zimri’s plotted against the king, killed him, and made himself king. Yeah, no. The whole army made Omri, our commander, king instead. Right here in camp, today.

Was there when the army picked its own king.
In Israel’s army under Omri, camped against the Philistine town of Gibbethon. Three kings in a week.
