'Entreated' in the Bible

When he was in distress, he entreated the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

His prayer also and how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, his unfaithfulness, and the sites on which he built high places and erected the Asherim and the carved images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the records of the Hozai.
