Exegesis
The Hebrew clause begins with gam {גַּם | gam} ‘also,’ which includes Judah in the indictment.
The fronted subject Yehudah {יְהוּדָה | yᵊ-hû-dā} is immediately negated by lo {לֹא | lō} followed by the Qal perfect verb shamar {שָׁמַר | šā-mar} ‘kept,’ indicating a completed negative action.
In context — 2 Kings 17:19
Also Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God , but they walked in the statutes of Israel that Israel had made.
