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.

2 Chronicles 15:4 In-Context

2 went out to meet Asa. He said, "Listen carefully, Asa, and listen Judah and Benjamin: God will stick with you as long as you stick with him. If you look for him he will let himself be found; but if you leave him he'll leave you.
3 For a long time Israel didn't have the real God, nor did they have the help of priest or teacher or book.
4 But when they were in trouble and got serious, and decided to seek God, the God of Israel, God let himself be found.
5 At that time it was a dog-eat-dog world; life was constantly up for grabs - no one, regardless of country, knew what the next day might bring.
6 Nation battered nation, city pummeled city. God let loose every kind of trouble among them.
