Exegesis
The deferential idiom kol-ha-ṭōv {כָּל־הַטּ֥וֹב | kol-ha-ṭōv} ‘all that is good’ + bə-’ê-nê-khā {בְּעֵינֶ֖יךָ | bə-’ê-nê-khā} ‘in your eyes’ signals acquiescence to Saul’s judgment.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:36
And Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave among them a man.” And they said, “Do all that seems right to you.” Then the priest said, “Let us draw near here to God .”
