Context of 2 Chronicles 15:5

3For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without the Law. 4But 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. 6Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress. 7But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is a reward for your work.”
