En toen het volk in het leger hoorde zeggen, dat Simri een verbond gemaakt en ook den koning verslagen had, zo maakte geheel Isral op dien dag Omri den krijgsoverste koning over Isral in het leger.
Maar toen het volk in het kamp hoorde: Zimri heeft een samenzwering gemaakt, ja, den koning verslagen! maakte gans Israel te dien dage in het kamp den legeroverste Omri tot koning over Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king,.... Tidings came to the army of what he had done, which was displeasing to them:
wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp; that is, all Israel that were in the army proclaimed Omri, their general, king; just as the Roman army declared Vespasian, their general, emperor of Rome, and as several of the emperors were chosen.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
All Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king - This passage of history recalls the favorite practice of the Roman armies under the Empire, which, when they heard of the assassination of an emperor at Rome, were accustomed to invest their own commander with the purple.
