Exegesis
Within that clause, kai eipen marturesas {καὶ εἶπεν μαρτυρήσας | kaí eîpen martyrḗsas} combines an aorist indicative “he said” with an aorist participle “having testified,” presenting God’s speech as His own formal testimony about David.
In context — Acts 13:22
And after removing him, He raised up David for them as king, to whom He also said, after bearing witness, “I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart , who will do all My will.”
