Exegesis
The second clause resumes with wayyāra‘ {וַיָּרַע | way-yā-rə‘} and uses the comparative mi-kol ’ă-šer lə-pānāw {מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר לְפָנָיו | mi-kol ’ă-šer lə-pā-nāw} ‘more than all who were before him’ to intensify the wickedness. The English rendering preserves the coordinated structure and comparative emphasis of the Hebrew narrative.
In context — 1 Kings 16:25
And Omri did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD , and he acted more wickedly than all who were before him.
