This "stub-class" article is very poor quality and there have been "citation needed" and other tags sitting on it for months or years. I do not think it is NPOV any more to refer to Finkelstein and The Bible Unearthed as "revisionist", his research has now become mainstream, with a multi-part documentary based on it broadcast on the History channel. The statement "Most archaeologists in Israel, including Amnon Ben-Tor, Amihai Mazar, and Lawrence Stager, reject this theory" needs to be cited to a WP:RS or removed, and not in months or years, but very soon.

I moved this section from the article - "Worshippers of Baal or Yahweh? Bible described Omrides as idolatrous rulers, which promoted cult of Baal and fight with yahwism. However most of evidences suggest that deity of Omrides was really Yahweh of Samaria, not Baal. Names of some Omrides (such Jehoram, Ahaziach or Athaliah) was theophoric and refered to Yahweh [1] [2]. The Mesha Stele set up around 840 BCE, mentioned altar of Yahweh from Kingdom of Israel. It is probably that biblical name "Baal" mean Yahweh of Samaria, not phoenician deity [1]. Maybe Samarian worship of Yahweh was regarded by Judah's priests as heretical, thus was equalized with baalism."
I don't mean to be rude, but this is not written in very good English and I don't really understand it very well. Maybe we can work on it for clarity and put it back into the article. Smeat75 ( talk) 02:38, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Google books give me 80,000+ hits for "House of Omri" and only 10,000 for Omrides (which includes Omride). Oncenawhile ( talk) 17:29, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus. There doesn't seem to be agreement or irrefutable evidence on what sources say, and opinions are fairly evenly split. ( non-admin closure) — Amakuru ( talk) 11:01, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

@ Zhomron has modified the Hebrew in the lede to include Masoretic pointed vowels, whereas the text in the article body is unpointed. If the cited sources contain pointed text, then we should have no trouble verifying it and including it in all locations. Elizium23 ( talk) 18:59, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
