Context of Psalms 105:14
12When they were but few in number, few indeed, and foreigners in it, 13wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, He allowed no one to oppress them— for their sake He rebuked kings: 15“Touch not My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.” 16He called down a famine on the land. He broke the whole supply of bread.
