The Omrides, Omrids or House of Omri were a ruling dynasty of the Kingdom of Israel founded by King Omri. According to the Bible, the Omride rulers of Israel were Omri, Ahab and Ahab's sons Ahaziah and Jehoram. Ahab's daughter (or perhaps sister) Athaliah also became queen regnant of the Kingdom of Judah.
Five Assyrian records, some of which with known duplicates, are known to refer to either "Land of Omri" or "House of Omri". An archaeological reference to Omri and his unnamed son is found in the Mesha Stele, the only Northwest Semitic inscription known to reference this name.
The Bible generally portrays the Omrides unfavorably, stressing their apostasy from the religion of Yahweh in favor of Baal. It devotes little attention to Omri aside from noting his establishment of the dynasty and foundation of Israel's new capital of Samaria. In contrast, his son Ahab is the subject of an extended narrative focusing on his troubled relations with the prophets Elijah and Elisha. He is depicted as a weak personality allowing himself to be led by his strong-willed wife Jezebel of Tyre, who advocated Baal worship. Note is also made of the dynasty's diplomacy, which connected it by marriage to Tyre and Judah and brought about a rapprochement with the latter after a long series of wars. The Biblical account of the later Omrides concerns the revolt of Moab, their conflict with Damascus over Ramoth-Gilead, the dynasty's extinction in Israel at the hands of Jehu, and Athaliah's usurpation of the throne of Judah on the death of her son King Ahaziah.
I'm falling deep in Sphere beyond
In bloodred Nights I make my Way
I am fading away from this Life
Alone I'm standing, God has lied to me
My Soul is not sleeping, I'm finding no Peace
I will rise against you all and your Fear is my Pride
Alone I stand beneath the Gates, to destroy Heaven to destroy the Light
As the Fire burns around me and I laugh as the Angels die
Now their Wings have turned to Ash and my Eyes are burning bright
I'm full of Hate, I'm full of Blood
I slay the Christians and enslave their Souls
Now I - I know who I am
I'm the chosen one from Hell
I have slaughtered the holy ones
I am the Rebirth of the Night, I'm the chosen one from Hell
I'm the one who controls your Fear, mightier than Death
