OET (OET-LV) And_it_was_good the_message in/on_both_eyes_of the_king and_the_officials and_he/it_made the_king according_to_the_message_of Memucan.

OET (OET-RV) This seemed like a good idea to the king and his officials, so King Ahasuerus followed the advice of Memukan

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:10–22: Queen Vashti disobeyed the king and he removed her from her position as queen

Towards the end of the feast, when he had drunk too much wine, the king sent a message, ordering the queen to come to him so that he could show off her beauty to his guests. But she probably did not wish to be seen by a crowd of drunken, leering men, and so she refused. The king was very angry about the queen’s disobedience and asked his advisors what the law said about how she should be punished. The advisors said that the king should divorce the queen, in order to show all wives in the empire that they must obey their husbands. The king was pleased with this advice and issued a decree to inform everyone about it.

1:21a

The king and his princes were pleased with this counsel;

1:21b

so the king did as Memucan had advised.

1:21

princes: See note on 1:3b.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּיטַב֙ הַ⁠דָּבָ֔ר בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֥י הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ

and,it_was_good the,word in/on=both_eyes_of the=king

Like “if it is good to the king” in verse 19, this is an idiom that means the king thought this was a good idea or this advice pleased the king.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֥י הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ וְ⁠הַ⁠שָּׂרִ֑ים

in/on=both_eyes_of the=king and,the,officials

Here, eyes stand for seeing, and seeing is a metaphor for knowledge, notice, attention, or judgment. The phrase means that King Ahasuerus and all the officials who heard Memukan’s advice thought that his suggestion was a good idea.

וַ⁠יַּ֥עַשׂ הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ כִּ⁠דְבַ֥ר מְמוּכָֽן

and=he/it_made the=king according,to_the_word_of Memucan

This means that King Ahasuerus wrote a law proclaiming what Memukan had suggested.

Note 3 topic: translate-names

מְמוּכָֽן

Memucan

Translate his name as in [1:14](../01/14.md).
