SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:25
Y Omri hizo lo malo delante de los ojos del SEÑOR, e hizo peor que todos los que habían sido antes de él;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:25
Verse 25. Did worse than all-before him] Omri was, 1. An idolater in principle; 2. An idolater in practice; 3. He led the people to idolatry by precept and example; and, which was that in which he did worse than all before him, 4. He made statutes in favour of idolatry, and obliged the people by law to commit it. See Micah vi. 16, where this seems to be intended: For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord , etc.] Openly and publicly, as if it were in defiance of him: and did worse than all that were before him ; taking no warning by the judgments inflicted on them, which aggravated his sins; and besides, he not only worshipped the calves, as the rest, and drew Israel by his example into the same, as they did, but he published edicts and decrees, obliging them to worship them, and forbidding them to go to Jerusalem, called “the statutes of Omri”, ( Micah 6:16).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-28 - When men forsake God, they will be left to plague one another. Prou aspiring men ruin one another. Omri struggled with Tibni some years Though we do not always understand the rules by which God govern nations and individuals in his providence, we may learn useful lesson from the history before us. When tyrants succeed each other, an massacres, conspiracies, and civil wars, we may be sure the Lord has controversy with the people for their sins; they are loudly called to repent and reform. Omri made himself infamous by his wickedness. Man wicked men have been men of might and renown; have built cities, an their names are found in history; but they have no name in the book of life.
