La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Et le peuple qui était campé là entendit qu'on disait: Zimri a fait une conspiration, et même il a tué le roi; et, en ce même jour, tout Israël établit dans le camp pour roi, Omri, capitaine de l'armée d'Israël.
Darby's French Translation
Et le peuple qui campait ouït dire: Zimri a conspiré, et il a aussi frappé le roi. Et ce même jour, dans le camp, tout Israël établit Omri, chef de l'armée, roi sur Israël.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Et le peuple qui était-là campé, entendit qu'on disait : Zimri a fait une conspiration, et il a même tué le Roi; c'est pourquoi en ce même jour tout Israël établit dans le camp pour Roi Homri, capitaine de l'armée d'Israël.

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.
