The reign, characte and death of Omri (vs. 23-28). 23. Bega: Omri-No acount is taken here of th four years he was contesting the kin8 dom with Tibai. From 'verse 15 we se that hie reign muet really have begui ini the 27th year of Asa's reign, he begai to reign alone. Twelve years-This i supposed to, include the whole time of hi Yeign-fou= years with Tibul and eigyh years, alone. There is, however, a dif fer ence of -opinion as to the chronology herE In Tirzah-He reigned six years in Tir zah a.nd six in Samaria. >24. The hilI Samaria-The palace o Tirzah being in ruins, Omri, ini selectini the site of his royal residence, was flat uraily influenced by considerations boti of pleasure and advantage. In the cen tre of a wide amphitheatre of mountaja' about six miles from Secbem, rises L'T oblong hli with steep, yet accesbibl aides, and a long flat top extendingy eacl and west ,And rising five hundred or si-) hundred feet above the valiey. Wbti Omri probably built as a mere palatia' residence, became the capital of the king- dom, instead of Sechem. The choice ol Omri was admirable in selecting a posi- tion whidh combined stren.gth, beauty and fertility.-Stanley. Shenier-The leb- rew form is Shomer. Two talents-About $3,320.-Terry. This was a large sum foi those days. Sainaria continued to be t1ie capital of the northern kingdom u.ntil Schalmaneser carried away Israel iuta Assyrian captivity. 25.

It may -be that Omri's -,isdom couîd postpone for a tirne God's judgments neyer grow weary ini their pursuit af thc wicked. Omri was wicked but Ahab was more wicked; Omri ierved idois but Aiab served Baal with zeal. "Ahab did more ta provoke the Lord of Israel that went before him." Not oniy uines of kings but famille;3 go f rom immortality to wickedness and from wickedness ta greater wickedness until divine justice is meted out and the iamiiy name is blot- ted out. Wliat a iessan should the father who is wrecklcss leara from Omri and his more wicked son !
