📚 Historical Context
This verse concludes the brief account of King Omri's reign over the northern kingdom of Israel (around 885-874 BC). The 'book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel' was likely an official court record that documented the deeds of Israel's monarchs, separate from the biblical books of Chronicles. Though the Bible gives Omri only six verses, he was actually one of Israel's most significant kings politically and militarily.
