Exegesis

The evaluative phrase yashar be-eineikha {יָשָׁר בְּעֵינֶֽיךָ | yā-šār bə-ʿê-nê-ḵā} ‘right in your eyes’ centers the subject’s moral perspective.

In context — 2 Samuel 19:6

To love those who hate you and to hate those who love you, for you have declared today that neither princes nor servants matter to you. For I know today that if Avshalom were alive and we were all dead today, it would be right in your eyes.
