(Some words not found in UHB: and,it_was_displeasing the,matter in/on=both_eyes_of Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) just=as said give, to/for=ourselves king to,judge,us and,he_prayed Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) to/towards YHWH )
See the discussion in the Introduction to 1 Samuel of this use of the expression “in the eyes of.” The author is using this common expression of his culture to refer to the judgment or opinion of Samuel. 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. Alternate translation: [And Samuel considered this request to be wrong]

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.
