The "evil" refers to actions contrary to God's commandments, often involving idolatry and injustice. The phrase "in the sight of the LORD" underscores God's omniscience and the accountability of leaders to divine standards. This evaluation is a recurring theme in the books of Kings, highlighting the spiritual decline of Israel and Judah.<p><b>and did not turn away from the sins</b><br>This suggests a continuation and persistence in sinful behavior, indicating a lack of repentance or reform. The concept of "turning away" is significant in biblical theology, often associated with repentance and returning to God. The failure to turn away from sin reflects a hardened heart and a rejection of God's call to righteousness. This phrase also implies a missed opportunity for redemption and change.<p><b>that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit</b><br>Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel, is infamous for establishing idol worship, specifically the golden calves at Bethel and Dan (<a href="/1_kings/12-28.htm">1 Kings 12:28-30</a>). His actions set a precedent for idolatry that plagued Israel throughout its history. The phrase highlights the enduring influence of Jeroboam's sin, which became a benchmark for evaluating subsequent kings.
