Exegesis
The comparative clause kə·ḵōl ʾă·šer ‘ā·śāh Dā·wīḏ ’ā·ḇîw {כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֖ה דָּוִ֥ד אָבִֽיו | kə·ḵōl ʾă·šer ‘ā·śāh Dā·wīḏ ’ā·ḇîw} ‘according to all that David his father did’ sets David’s reign as the benchmark. English reorders the relative clause after the main clause for clarity while preserving the Hebrew emphasis prior to the exemplar reference.
