2 Chronicles 15:3 Context
1And the Spirit of God came vpon Azariah the sonne of Oded. 2And he went out to meet Asa, and said vnto him, Heare ye me, Asa, and all Iudah, and Beniamin, The Lord is with you, while yee be with him: and if yee seeke him, he will be found of you: but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 3Now for a long season Israel hath bene without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. 4But when they in their trouble did turne vnto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, hee was found of them. 5And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were vpon all the inhabitants of the countreys.

Wesley's Notes for 2 Chronicles 15:3
15:3 Now Israel - They have long lived without the found knowledge and worship of the true God. Israel is here understood of the whole nation of Israel in former times, and especially in the times of the judges: for then many times they were in a great measure, without God and his law, and teaching priests, as plainly appears from the book of the Judges; they were brought to all the exigencies and calamities following; and they sometimes turned to the Lord, and he was found of them.
