Exegesis
The idiom be‘inei {בְּעֵינֵ֥י | bə-‘ê-nê} ‘in the eyes of’ marks Samson’s subjective approval. The coordinated narrative flow of “and” clauses preserves the succession of events, while the idiom is rendered literally in the formal translation to reflect the Hebrew expression and dynamically to convey active evaluation.
In context — Judges 14:7
So he went down and spoke to the woman, and she was pleasing in the eyes of Samson.
