Tibni was a king of Israel who ruled alongside Omri for an unknown time .
etymology
The meaning of the Hebrew personal name תִּבְנִי tivnî is unexplained. Hans Rechenmacher derives the name fromתֶּבֶן tævæn , German for 'straw' from and translates as 'strohern'. A connection with the verb root would also be conceivableבנה bnh , German for 'build' and the nounתַּבְנִית tavnît , German 'image / figure' . The Septuagint gives the name as Θαμνι Thamni , the Vulgate as Thebni .
Biblical narration
In the Old Testament Tibni is only mentioned in the 1st Book of Kings ( 1 Kings 16 : 21-22 EU ). Accordingly, he was a son of Ginat and heir to the throne after the death of King Zimri , while others in the people supported Omri. The latter, however, had the larger following and became king after Tibni's death.
