OET (OET-LV) And having_removed him, he_raised the Dawid/(Dāvid) to_them for a_king, to_whom also he_spoke having_testified:
I_found Dawid the son of_ the _Yessai/(Yishay):
a_man according_to the heart of_me, who will_be_doing all the wills of_me.
OET (OET-RV) After Saul was removed, God chose David to be their king—the man of whom he said, ‘I found David the son of Jesse, a man who wants to obey me and do everything I ask.’

Here, the expression raised up describes God giving someone an important position. See how you translated it in 3:22. Alternate translation: “made David their king”

In order to avoid having a second-level quotation, you could turn Paul’s quotation into an indirect quotation. (Paul is quoting from 1 Samuel 13:14 and Psalm 89:20.) Alternate translation: “he said, testifying, that he had found David, son of Jesse, a man according to his heart, who would do all his will”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
εὗρον
˱I˲_found
While God was indeed searching for someone to replace Saul, here the word found does not refer to the results of that search, but rather to God’s estimation of David. Alternate translation: “I have recognized that David, son of Jesse, is a man according to my heart”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἄνδρα κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν μου

This is an idiomatic expression. Alternate translation: “the kind of person who does what pleases me”
13:22 David was a man after God’s own heart despite his sins (e.g., 2 Sam 11–12).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
