2 Chronicles 15:2-6

and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you.

For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without the Law.

But in their distress they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him.

In those times there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.

Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress.
