Here, the expression raised up describes God giving someone an important position. See how you translated it in [3:22](../03/22.md). Alternate translation: [made David their king]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν μαρτυρήσας, εὗρον Δαυεὶδ τὸν τοῦ Ἰεσσαί, ἄνδρα κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν μου, ὃς ποιήσει πάντα τὰ θελήματά μου

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](../1sa/13/14.md) and Psalm [89:20](../psa/089/020.md).) 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

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί μεταστήσας αὐτόν ἤγειρεν τόν Δαυίδ αὐτοῖς εἰς βασιλέα ᾧ καί εἶπεν μαρτυρήσας Εὗρον Δαυίδ τόν τοῦ Ἰεσσαί Ἄνδρα κατά τήν καρδίαν μού ὅς ποιήσει παντᾶ τά θελήματα μού)

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

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί μεταστήσας αὐτόν ἤγειρεν τόν Δαυίδ αὐτοῖς εἰς βασιλέα ᾧ καί εἶπεν μαρτυρήσας Εὗρον Δαυίδ τόν τοῦ Ἰεσσαί Ἄνδρα κατά τήν καρδίαν μού ὅς ποιήσει παντᾶ τά θελήματα μού)

This is an idiomatic expression. Alternate translation: [the kind of person who does what pleases me]
