Tibni ("building of Jehovah") was a claimant to the throne of the Israel, and the son of Ginath, a man of some position. Albright has dated his reign to 876 - 881 BC, while Thiele offers the dates 885 - 880 BC.
Following the death of Zimri, a considerable number of the people chose Tibni as monarch, and he contended for the throne against Omri over the next few years (1 Kings 16:21, 22), only to be defeated.Template:HeBible-stub
