Gideon is not using the word found to mean that he was intentionally searching for something. He is using it to refer to having something, as if he had found it. Alternate translation: [if in fact I have favor in your eyes]

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of favor, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [if in fact you have judged me favorably]

See the discussion of the expression “in the eyes of” in the Introduction to Judges. See how you translated the same expression in 2:11. Alternate translation: [in your judgment]
