Context of 2 Chronicles 15:5

3For a long time, the Israelites did not serve the true God. They did not have any priests to teach them what was right. They did not know God's law. 4But when they were in trouble, they turned to the Lord, Israel's God. They asked him to help them and he answered them. At that time it was not safe to travel very far. There was too much trouble among the people of other countries. 6One nation would attack and destroy another nation. The people of one city destroyed other cities. God caused all this trouble to happen to those people. 7But you must be strong. Continue to be brave. God will make your work successful.’
