Gill's Notes on the Bible

But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord,.... 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Omri outwent his idolatrous predecessors in his zeal, reducing the calf-worship to a regular formal system, which went down to posterity (compare the marginal reference).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

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 6:16, where this seems to be intended: For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab.
