It might seem that saying thing twice would be extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could use the expression just once in your translation. Alternate translation: [And it was good in the eyes of the Lord that Solomon had requested this thing]

The author is using the common expression of his culture in the eyes of to mean “in the judgment of” or “in the opinion of.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. See the discussion of this phrase in the introduction to 1 Kings. Alternate translation: [in the judgment of the Lord]

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.
