I always thought that the pattern is «follow smb/smth», not «follow after». What is more, my dictionaries don’t mention «follow after» at all. And yet it is used.
So, is there any difference? For example:
«He went out of the room. I followed him.»
«He went out of the room. I followed after him.»

If it’s sloppy English, it’s old sloppy English. It’s very common in the King James Version of the Bible. I’m not convinced that it’s simply sloppy English.
If I say, «The king came by. His courtiers followed him.» it would mean something different to me than «The king came by. His courtiers followed after him.» The first indicates a order of events, such as relative positions in a parade or a procession. The second indicates that the courtiers are tagging along behind the king. In other words, their attention is on the king in the second case, and not necessarily on the king at all in the first case. That’s all personal interpretation. I’d be interested in hearing if other people see them as communicating different shades of meaning.

Follow after is a statement of volition, of active pursuit.

Some times follow after could mean «according with» or «in obedience». Judge if it is right in this example: «Not every act of the king’s life was as the Lord would have desired, but his pattern was to follow after God».
