Exegesis
The comparative structure kekol asher asu haemori {כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ הָאֱמֹרִ֔י | kē·kōl ʾă·šer ʿă·śû ha·ʾĕ·mō·rî} establishes a parallel with the Amorite nations.
The relative clause asher horish YHWH mipnei benei yisrael {אֲשֶׁר הוֹרִישׁ יְהוָה מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ă·šer hō·rîš Yə·hō·wāh mîp·nê bə·nê Yiś·rāʾēl} emphasizes divine agency via the Hiphil perfect. The English rendering preserves sequence, intensification, and theological focus on idolatry and covenantal judgment.
In context — 1 Kings 21:26
And he acted in an exceedingly abominable way by going after the idols, just as the Amorites had done, whom the LORD drove out before the sons of Israel .
