Context of Psalms 105:14
12When they were few in number, just a very few, and resident aliens within it, 13they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another. He let no one oppress them; he disciplined kings for their sake, 15saying,“Don’t touch my chosen ones! Don’t harm my prophets!” 16He called down a famine upon the earth; he cut off all the food supply.
