From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Omri
      servant of Jehovah. When Elah was murdered by Zimri at Tirzah (1
      Kings 16:15-27), Omri, his captain, was made king (B.C. 931).
      For four years there was continued opposition to his reign,
      Tibni, another claimant to the throne, leading the opposing
      party; but at the close of that period all his rivals were
      defeated, and he became king of Israel, "Tibni died and Omri
      reigned" (B.C. 927). By his vigour and power he gained great
      eminence and consolidated the kingdom. He fixed his dynasty on
      the throne so firmly that it continued during four succeeding
      reigns. Tirza was for six years the seat of his government. He
      then removed the capital to Samaria (q.v.), where he died, and
      was succeeded by his son Ahab. "He wrought evil in the eyes of
      the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him."
     
         Beth-omri, "the house" or "city of Omri," is the name usually
      found on Assyrian inscriptions for Samaria. In the stele of
      Mesha (the "Moabite stone"), which was erected in Moab about
      twenty or thirty years after Omri's death, it is recorded that
      Omri oppressed Moab till Mesha delivered the land: "Omri, king
      of Israel, oppressed Moab many days, for Chemosh was angry with
      his land. His son succeeded him, and he also said, I will
      oppress Moab" (comp. 2 Kings 1:1; 3:4, 5). The "Moabite stone"
      also records that "Omri took the land of Medeba, and occupied it
      in his day and in the days of his son forty years."
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
