Context of Psalms 105:14
12When they were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it. 13When they went from one nation to another, From one kingdom to another people, He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, 15Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.” 16Moreover He called for a famine in the land; He destroyed all the provision of bread.
