The name

Outside scripture

Critical

Named in an Assyrian record of the battle of Qarqar, which credits him with a large chariot force -- an independent measure of the kingdom's strength in his reign.

Attestation. The Kurkh Monolith of Shalmaneser III, 853 BC; the Mesha Stele also refers to the house of Omri, his father.

This is a question of evidence, not of doctrine, and is kept separate from the disagreements above for that reason.
