Exegesis
The closing bāh halakh {בָּ֥הּ הָלָֽךְ | bāh hālaḵ} ‘in it he walked’ employs the Hebrew “walk” idiom for an ongoing lifestyle; the feminine singular bāh functions as a resumptive reference to the sinful course as a unified way, which English can render with “in it” or “in that path” to keep the discourse cohesion.

In context — 2 Kings 13:11
He did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD ; he did not turn aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin ; he walked in it.
