Exegesis
The comparative clause in kehaznot {כְּהַזְנוֹת | kə-haz-nōṯ} ‘as the harlotries’ frames his actions with a simile to Ahab’s example. The final clause vegam et-achekha beit-avikha hatovim mimmecha haragta layers guilt through familial betrayal and qualitative contrast, heightening moral culpability. English word order preserves the Hebrew sequence to maintain the rhetorical buildup of accusations.
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.
