So why have you despised ... Yahweh, so as to do what is evil in his sight?

This rhetorical question is used to rebuke David. This can be written as a statement. AT: "You should not have despised ... Yahweh and should not have done what is evil in his sight!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

what is evil in his sight

Here "sight" refers to Yahweh's thoughts or opinion. AT: "what he considers to be evil" or "what is evil in Yahweh's judgement" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
