Exegesis
The direct object marker et-beit {אֶת־בֵּית | ʾēt-bēṯ} introduces the construct chain beit YHWH {בֵּית יְהוָה | bēṯ yəhō·wāh} ‘house of YHWH’, denoting the temple. In English, the Hebrew verb-subject-prepositional order is rendered as subject-verb-object for readability, while the idiom is adapted as ‘decided in his heart’ to reflect the original nuance.
