Exegesis
The idiomatic phrase beʿêney YHWH {בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה | bə·ʿê·nê Yə·hō·wāh} ‘in the eyes of the LORD’ signifies divine evaluation.
The negation vĕ·lōʾ mil·lēʾ ʾaḥărê YHWH {וְלֹ֥א מִלֵּ֛א אַחֲרֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה | wə·lōʾ mil·lēʾ ā·ḥă·rê Yə·hō·wāh} ‘and he did not fulfill after the LORD’ underscores incomplete covenant pursuit.
