'Entreat the Favor' in the Bible

Now [those of] Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to entreat the favor of LORD,

And the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of LORD, and to seek LORD of hosts. I will go also.

Yea, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of LORD.
