Exegesis
The Piel perfect milleiti {מִלֵּ֔אתִי | mil-lê-ṯî} ‘I fully followed’ intensifies the subject’s resolve, and the preposition acharei {אַחֲרֵי | ʾă-ḥărê} indicates direction toward YHWH {יְהוָה | Yə-hō-wāh} and Elohai {אֱלֹהָי | ʾĕ-lō-hāy}, preserving the adversative structure in English.
Root and etymology
ʾ-ḥaleph–chet

In context — Joshua 14:8
But my brothers who went up with me caused the heart of the people to melt, but I wholly followed after the LORD my God .
