Exegesis
The noun-adjective pair devarim tovim {דְּבָרִים טוֹבִים | də-vā-rîm ṭō-vîm} ‘good things’ is foregrounded by the Niphal perfect nimtse'u {נִמְצְא֣וּ | nim-tse-ʾû} ‘have been found’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 19:3
Yet good things have been found in you: you have removed the Asherah poles from the land, and you have set your heart to seek God .
