Exegesis
The relative clause asher asah {אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה | ’ă-šer ‘ā-sāh} ‘that he did’ specifies Jeroboam’s actions as paradigmatic, while the negative Qal perfect lo-saru {לֹא־סָרוּ | lō’-sārû} ‘they did not turn aside’ with the pronominal suffix mimmenah {מִמֶּנָּה | mim-mē-nāh} ‘from them’ underscores Israel’s continuous adherence. English retains “walked in” to reflect the moral path metaphor and mirrors the emphatic negation of lo-saru in “did not turn aside.”
Root and etymology
ʿ-ś-h
