Exegesis
The verse uses vav-consecutive verbs to depict ongoing disobedience: wayya'as {וַיַּ֥עַשׂ | wayya·ʿaś} “and he did” and wayya-lekh {וַיֵּ֙לֶךְ֙ | wayyā·lēḵ} “and he walked,” creating narrative momentum.
In context — 1 Kings 15:34
He did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD ; he walked in the way of Jeroboam and persisted in the sin by which he led Israel to sin.
