'Distress' in the Bible

but when they turned to the Lord God of Israel in their distress and sought Him, He was found by them.

Nation was crushed by nation and city by city, for God troubled them with every possible distress.

“If disaster comes on us—sword or judgment, pestilence or famine—we will stand before this temple and before You, for Your name is in this temple. We will cry out to You because of our distress, and You will hear and deliver.”

At the time of his distress, King Ahaz himself became more unfaithful to the Lord.

When he was in distress, he sought the favor of Yahweh his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his ancestors.
