'Plead' in the Bible

Now the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer, Regem-melech, and their men to plead for the Lord’s favor

the residents of one city will go to another, saying: Let’s go at once to plead for the Lord’s favor and to seek the Lord of Hosts. I am also going.

Many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem and to plead for the Lord’s favor.”
