Exegesis
The prepositional construct bederekh malkei yisrael {בְּדֶרֶךְ מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | bə-ḏereḵ mal-kê yiś-rā-’ēl} functions as a locution of manner ‘in the way of the kings of Israel.’
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:13
And you walked in the way of the kings of Israel and caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication as the harlotries of the house of Ahab. And you also killed your brothers, the house of your father, who were better than you.
