Exegesis
The vav-consecutive clause wə-YHWH hattōḇ bə-ʿênāyw yaʿăśeh {וַֽיהוָ֔ה הַטּ֥וֹב בְּעֵינָ֖יו יַעֲשֶֽׂה | wə-YHWH hattōḇ bə-ʿênāyw yaʿăśeh} conveys the sovereign action of YHWH, with hattōḇ ‘the good’ as the object of yaʿăśeh ‘He will do’ and the idiom bə-ʿênāyw ‘in His eyes’ expressing subjective divine evaluation. English shifts from Hebrew VSO to SVO to preserve motivational immediacy and theological emphasis on divine sovereignty.
In context — 1 Chronicles 19:13
Be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves for our people and for the cities of our God ; and the LORD will do what is good in His eyes.
