OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_went in/on/at/with_way_of his/its_father ʼĀşāʼ and_not he_turned_aside from_her/it for_doing the_right in/on_both_eyes_of YHWH.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) He walked in the ways of Asa, his father; he did not turn away from them
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went in/on/at/with,way_of his/its=father ʼĀşāʼ and=not turn_aside from=her/it for=doing the,right in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )
This means that he lived in a way that pleased Yahweh as his father had done. Here “walking” is an idiom for the way a person lives and behaves. Alternate translation: “He did things that were pleasing to Yahweh, like his father Asa had done, and he did not stop doing those things” (See also: figs-idiom)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went in/on/at/with,way_of his/its=father ʼĀşāʼ and=not turn_aside from=her/it for=doing the,right in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )
The eyes here represent seeing, and seeing represents judgment. Yahweh saw and approved of Jehoshaphat’s actions. See how you translated a similar phrase in [2 Chronicles 14:2](../14/02.md). Alternate translation: “he did what Yahweh judged to be right” or “he did what Yahweh considered to be right”
20:32-33 The comparison of Jehoshaphat with Asa is adopted from 1 Kgs 22:43 without alteration.

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