The people having received an hard and sharp answer of the Lord to them, to wit, that he would not hear them, laid it near to heart, and 1cried again to the Lord (how soon after, it is not here expressed) confessing their sins, casting away their Idols, (which at their first suing to God they did not): now in stead thereof, they served the Lord, whom they had forsaken, and beside all this, they submitted themselves to him, to do what he would to them, resting confidently persuaded of his mercy, and so obtained deliverance, which they had earnestly sued for and sought, out of that present calamity: for the Lord was entreated of them, and granted their desire.
