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.
