Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 25. - But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him. [It has been thought that Micah 6:16 ("the statutes of Omri, etc.") points to a fresh departure from the Jewish faith; to the organization of the calf worship into a regular formal system, or to "measures for more competely isolating the people of Israel from the services of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem" (Kitto).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) Did worse than all that were before him.--This phrase, used of Jeroboam in 1Kings 14:9, may indicate, in addition to the acceptance and development of the old idolatry, some anticipation of the worse idolatry of Baal, formally introduced by Ahab. The "statutes of Omri" are referred to by Micah (Micah 6:16) in parallelism with the "works of the house of Ahab," as the symbol of hardened and hopeless apostasy.
