Theological / Devotional

Statutes of Omri. No special “statutes” of this king of Israel are mentioned in the Bible. There is a probable reference to the idolatrous rules of worship that Omri instituted (see 1 Kings 16:25, 26). Omri was the founder of the iniquitous dynasty that produced Ahab and Athaliah (see 1 Kings 16:29-33; 2 Kings 8:26 ; 11:1).
