Exegesis
Finally, be-einei {בְּעֵינֵי | bə-ˈʿā-nê} YHWH {יְהוָה | yə-hō-ˈwä} ‘in the eyes of the LORD’ frames the action in divine perspective. The Hebrew’s vav conjunctions and rhetorical questions yield an accusatory tone that the English maintains with parallel questions and structured clauses.
In context — 1 Samuel 15:19
And why did you not listen to the voice of the LORD ? Instead, you swooped upon the plunder and did the evil in the eyes of the LORD.
