Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה
in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH
See how you translated the same expression in 2:11 and 3:7. Alternate translation: “what was evil in Yahweh’s judgment”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וַיְחַזֵּ֨ק יְהוָ֜ה אֶת־עֶגְל֤וֹן מֶֽלֶךְ־מוֹאָב֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֛ל כִּֽי־עָשׂ֥וּ אֶת־הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “So because the Israelites did evil in his eyes, Yahweh strengthened Eglon, the king of Moab, against them”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וַיְחַזֵּ֨ק יְהוָ֜ה אֶת־עֶגְל֤וֹן מֶֽלֶךְ־מוֹאָב֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
and,strengthened YHWH DOM ˊEglōn king Mōʼāⱱ on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael
The author is speaking of Eglon to mean that king and his army. Alternate translation: “So Yahweh enabled Eglon to build a strong army to attack Israel”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
אֶת־עֶגְל֤וֹן
DOM ˊEglōn
The word Eglon is the name of a man.
3:12-30 In this epic account of intrigue and cunning, Ehud manifested heroic qualities when a coalition of nations from east of the Jordan penetrated the hill country of Ephraim and Benjamin. The cycle follows formulaic language and highlights the repeated apostasy of the people once again.

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.
