Exegesis
The idiomatic phrase u-ve-mitzvotav halakh {וּבְמִצְוֺתָיו הָלָךְ | ū-wə-mîṣ-wō-ṯāw hā-lāḵ} ‘and in his commandments he walked’ uses motion imagery to portray ongoing obedience.
In context — 2 Chronicles 17:4
For he sought the God of his father and walked in His commandments, and not like the practice of Israel.
