Exegesis
The idiomatic phrase bə’ê-nay YHWH {בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה | bə·’ê·nay Yə·hō·wāh} indicates divine appraisal, while the construct chain bə-de-rekh yā-rā-ḇō-‘am {בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יָרָבְעָ֔ם | bə·de·reḵ yā·rā·ḇō·‘ām} marks imitation of Jeroboam’s behavior.
In context — 1 Kings 15:34
He did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD ; he walked in the way of Jeroboam and persisted in the sin by which he led Israel to sin.
