Rashi
וימת תבני. כשנשא אסא בתו של עמרי ליהושפט בנו, הרגו את תבני, כשראו חשיבותו של עמרי, בסדר עולם:
And Tivni died. When Asa took Omri’s daughter in marriage for Yehoshofot his son, they killed Tivni,4Alternatively, he died a natural death and thereby Omri ruled undisputedly.—Radak See v. 23 below and Rashi there. when they saw Omri’s prominence; according to Seder Olam.
