Exegesis
The verse begins with the adverb gam {גַּם | gām} ‘also,’ which links this action to the preceding narrative.
The pronoun hu {ה֣וּא | hū} ‘he’ marks the subject, followed by the verb halakh {הָלַךְ | hā-lakh} ‘walked’ in the Qal perfect that denotes habitual behavior.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:3
He also followed the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor , steering him to act wickedly.
