Exegesis
The verse opens with the vav-consecutive Qal imperfect verb vateilekh {וַתֵּלֶךְ | wa-ṯê-leḥ} ‘and you walked,’ signaling narrative progression that aligns the king with his predecessors.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:13
And you walked in the way of the kings of Israel and caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication as the harlotries of the house of Ahab. And you also killed your brothers, the house of your father, who were better than you.
