Description
Who was Tibni?
Tibni is mentioned in 1Ki.16.21-22 as a rival to Omri for the throne of Israel. After King Zimri's death, the people of Israel were divided, with half following Tibni son of Ginath and the other half following Omri. The conflict between the two factions lasted for about four years, during which time Israel was effectively a divided kingdom. Eventually, Omri's supporters proved stronger, and Tibni died, allowing Omri to consolidate his power and establish a new dynasty that ruled the northern kingdom of Israel. No other details are provided about Tibni's background, his claim to the throne, or the circumstances of his death. His brief mention in the biblical narrative highlights the political instability and power struggles that characterized the period of the divided monarchy in Israel.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
