Contextual Overview
1Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded, 2and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him [inquiring for and of Him, as your soul's first necessity], He will let you find Him; but if you abandon (turn away from) Him, He will abandon (turn away from) you. 3"Now for a long time Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest, and without [God's] law. 4"But when they were in their trouble and distress they turned to the LORD God of Israel, and [in desperation earnestly] sought Him, and He let them find Him. 5"In those times there was no peace for him who went out or for him who came in, for great suffering came on all the inhabitants of the lands. 6"Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress.7"But as for you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city,.... Or one tribe of another; as the Ephraimites by the Gileadites, and the tribe of Benjamin by the other tribes; and Shechem by Abimelech, Judges 9:45,
for God did vex them with all adversity; both with foreign enemies and civil wars; and now it is intimated that this would be their case again, should they not keep close to the Lord their God.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The allusion is probably to the destructions recorded in Judges 9:45; Judges 20:33-48.
