Exegesis
The comparative clause mi-kōl ’ăšer lə-pānāw {מִכֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר לְפָנָֽיו | mi-kōl ’ăšer lə-pānāw} ‘from all that were before him’ intensifies Ahab’s wrongdoing. In English, the sentence structure shifts to subject-verb-object, and idioms are rendered as “in the sight of” or “from God’s perspective” for clarity.
In context — 1 Kings 16:30
And Ahab, son of Omri, did the evil in the eyes of the LORD more than all who were before him .
