Exegesis
The verse advances the narrative with two verb-initial wayyiqtol clauses, vaya'as {וַיַּעַשׂ | wayyāʿaś} and vayyelekh {וַיֵּלֶךְ | wayyēleḵ}, presenting successive aspects of the king’s conduct: first the evaluative summary, then the concrete pattern of allegiance.
In context — 2 Kings 13:2
And he did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD , and he walked after the sins of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; he did not turn aside from it.
