Exegesis
The object hara {הָרַע | hā-rāʿ} ‘evil’ is qualified by the evaluative phrase be’einei YHWH {בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה | bə-ʿê-nê Yə-hō-wāh} ‘in the sight of the LORD’, foregrounding divine perspective.
In context — 2 Kings 17:2
And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD , but not like the kings of Israel who were before him .
