Exegesis
The comparative kechol ă-šer {כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר | kə-ḵōl ă-šer} links the king’s conduct to that of his avotav {אֲבֹתָיו | ă-vō-ṯāw}, underscoring a recurring pattern of covenant unfaithfulness. English SVO order replaces the Hebrew verb–subject order for clarity while retaining the force of the original moral judgment.
Root and etymology
r-’resh–ayin
“evil”
In context — 2 Kings 23:32
