be displeased
be.esh denotes being displeased, attested in a royal legal setting in Daniel 6:15.
The sole attestation places the participle in Daniel 6:15, in a scene where men address the king about the unchangeability of a royal interdict; the verse context supports a state of displeasure, though the APB does not isolate its contribution.

In Daniel 6:15, the form is a Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, within the account of men speaking to the king about a law that cannot be changed. The APB renders the verse as an appeal concerning a Medes-and-Persians interdict and statute, without marking a separate English equivalent for this form.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 6:15, the APB presents the surrounding royal legal appeal—"no interdict or statute that the king establishes may be changed"—but does not provide a clearly isolable English rendering for the participle.
