Exegesis
The phrase beenei YHWH {בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָ֗ה | bəʿênê Yəhôwāh} ‘in the eyes of the LORD’ frames the evaluation as divine assessment rather than public opinion.
A marked exception follows: raq {רַ֕ק | rāq} ‘only’ sets a limitation, and the negated perfect lo-ba {לֹא־בָ֖א | lō-bāʾ} ‘he did not enter’ states the specific omission, completed as the prepositional goal el-heikhal YHWH {אֶל־הֵיכַ֣ל יְהוָ֑ה | ʾel-hêkāl Yəhôwāh} ‘into the temple of the LORD’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 27:2
He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD , in keeping with all that his father Uzziah had done; only he did not enter into the temple of the LORD, and still the people were acting corruptly.
