Exegesis
The phrase mipnei bnei Yisraʼel {מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | mippənê bə·nê yiṣrā’ēl} “from before the sons of Israel” highlights covenantal territory. The juxtaposition of idolatrous imitation with divine scrutiny underscores the king’s moral failure under God’s standard.
In context — 2 Kings 21:2
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD , like the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out from before the sons of Israel.
