Exegesis
The Hebrew clause begins with akh {אַךְ | ʾaḵ} ‘yet’ marking contrast, followed by the negated perfect lo-saru {לֹא־סָרוּ | lō-śārû} ‘they did not turn aside,’ establishing ongoing disobedience.
In context — 2 Kings 13:6
Yet they did not turn away from the sins of the house of Jeroboam , which he caused Israel to sin; they walked in them, and the Asherah stood in Samaria.
