SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:4
mas cuando con su tribulación se convirtieron al SEÑOR Dios de Israel, y le buscaron, él fue hallado de ellos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel , etc.] When being carried captive by neighbouring nations, and oppressed; and they cried unto the Lord, and repented of their sins, and turned from them to him: and sought him ; by prayer and supplication: he was found of them ; and appeared for their help and deliverance, of which there are many instances in the book of Judges.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The people make a solemn covenant with God. --The work of complete reformation appeared so difficult, that Asa ha not courage to attempt it, till assured of Divine assistance an acceptance. He and his people offered sacrifices to God; thanksgivin for the favours they had received, and supplication for furthe favours. Prayers and praises are now our spiritual sacrifices. The people, of their own will, covenanted to seek the Lord, each for himself, with earnestness. What is religion but seeking God, inquirin after him, applying to him upon all occasions? We make nothing of ou religion, if we do not make heart-work of it; God will have all the heart, or none. Our devotedness to God our Saviour, should be avowe and shown in the most solemn and public manner. What is done in hypocrisy is a mere drudgery __________________________________________________________________
