There was found in him, the Hebrew word Matsa, sometimes signifies finding without seeking, Isa. 65.1. I am found of them that sought me not, so Psal. 116. v. 3. The sorrows of death compassed me, ⟨p. 2⟩[…] ⟨p. 3⟩[…] ⟨p. 4⟩and the pains of hell got hold upon me, I found trouble and sorrow. I found trouble which I looked not for, I was not searching after sorrow, but I found it. There's an elegance in the Original.

There was found in Abijah some good thing towards the Lord, i.e. there was found in him without searching, or seeking, some good thing towards the Lord, it was plain and visible enough, men might see and observe it without inquiring, or seeking, they might run and read some good thing in him towards the Lord.
