Exegesis
The verse opens with the vav-consecutive imperfect wayyitav {וַיִּיטַב | wayyiṭab} ‘and it was good’ followed by the substantive clause ha-davar {הַדָּבָר | ha-dāḇār} ‘the matter.’
In context — Joshua 22:33
And the matter was good in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God and no longer spoke of going up against them in battle to destroy the land where the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad were living.
