Exegesis
The verse uses a standard regnal synchronism: the temporal frame bishnat {בִּשְׁנַת֩ | bišnāṯ} ‘in the year of’ is fronted, and the numeral string sheloshim ve-achat shanah {שְׁלֹשִׁ֨ים וְאַחַ֜ת שָׁנָ֗ה | šəlōšîm wə-ʾaḥaṯ šānâ} functions as a single time specification that is idiomatically rendered as an ordinal (“thirty-first”).
In context — 1 Kings 16:23
In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel for twelve years; in Tirzah he reigned six years.
