Exegesis
The verb halakh {הָלַךְ | hālak} ‘he walked’ is idiomatic for adopting a course of behavior, and it is followed by wayyelekh {וַיֵּלֶךְ | wayyēleḵ} ‘and he went,’ a narrative chain that advances from disposition to concrete action.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:5
He also walked in their counsel and went with Jehoram son of Ahab, king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead; and the Arameans struck Joram.
