Exegesis
The Vav-consecutive imperfect va-yelekhu {וַיֵּלְכוּ | way-yᵊl-kū} introduces the result clause, which contains the prepositional phrase bechukot Yisrael {בְּחֻקּוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל | bə-ḥuk-kōt yiś-rā-’ēl} ‘in the statutes of Israel’ and the relative clause asher asu {אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ | ’ă-šer ‘ā-sû} ‘that they made.’ The contrast highlights Judah’s rejection of divine law in favor of Israel’s self-devised regulations.
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.
