Exegesis
The prepositional phrase mipnei bnei Yisrael {מִפְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | mippə-nê bᵊ-nê Yîs-rā-ʾēl} ‘from before the sons of Israel’ underscores the covenantal context. The sequence of perfect verbs followed by a relative clause contrasts prior divine judgment with Israel’s subsequent apostasy.
In context — 1 Kings 14:24
And also there were male cult prostitutes in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD had driven out before the sons of Israel.
