Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
אַחַר֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה
after the,things the=these
This introduces a new event that happened some time later, but we do not know how much later. You can show this with a phrase like “After some time had passed.”
כְּשֹׁ֕ךְ חֲמַ֖ת הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵר֑וֹשׁ
when,subsided anger the=king ʼₐḩashəvērōshz
Alternate translation: “when King Ahasuerus was not angry any more” or “when King Ahasuerus became less angry”
זָכַ֤ר אֶת־וַשְׁתִּי֙
remembered DOM Vashti
This means that he started to think about Vashti. He probably thought about the things that he liked about her, meaning that he missed her.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֔תָה וְאֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־נִגְזַ֖ר עָלֶֽיהָ
which/who done and=DOM which/who decreed against,her
This refers to Vashti’s refusal to obey Ahasuerus, and to the decision he made in 1:21 that she could never come into his presence again. This could actually mean that when he thought about Vashti and what she had done, he regretted the decision that he had made about her. But there was nothing he could do to bring her back because the laws of the empire could not be changed. You could explain all or some of this in your translation, as in the UST.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
אֲשֶׁר־נִגְזַ֖ר עָלֶֽיהָ
which/who which/who decreed against,her
You can say this with an active form, and you can say that the king performed the action. Alternate translation: “what he had decided”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
