Exegesis
The closing lo-sar mimmenah {לֹא־סָר מִמֶּנָּה | lōʾ-sār mimmennāh} is a firm negated perfect, emphasizing persistence: he did not deviate from that established sinful course. English renderings typically shift to subject-initial order for readability while preserving the Hebrew sequence of evaluation → imitation → refusal to turn away.
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.
