Exegesis
The idiom vayyelekh achar {וַיֵּלֶךְ אַחַר | wayyēleḵ ʾaḥar} “he walked after” depicts a sustained course of imitation and loyalty; it is completed by the object chatot yarav`am {חַטֹּאת יָרָבְעָם | ḥaṭṭōt yārāḇʿām}, a construct relationship that assigns the sins to Jeroboam as their defining source and model.
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.
