2 Chronicles 15:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:4

But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of
Israel
When being carried captive by neighbouring nations, and oppressed; and they cried unto the Lord, and repented of their sins, and turned from them to him:

and sought him;
by prayer and supplication:

he was found of them;
and appeared for their help and deliverance, of which there are many instances in the book of Judges.

3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without law,
4 but when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for great disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 They were broken in pieces. Nation was crushed by nation and city by city, for God troubled them with every sort of distress.
