Hello, I am looking for a some kind of synonym for 'succeed in the eyes of'.
For example like in the sentence 'He will succeed in the eyes of somebody'.
I found "Behold, two kings stood not before him. How then shall we stand?” in the Bible (2 Kings 10:4) but as a non-native English speaker I am not sure of its usage. Could I use 'He will stand before them' not in the sense of literally standing somewhere?
Thank you.
