Throughout the time of the kingship, though Israel often forgot God,  God did not forget Israel. God spoke to his people through the prophets. The prophets were people chosen by God to speak for him. The prophets' role was not to predict the future, but rather to tell the people God's feelings about the present. What made the prophets able to do that was their sympathy: they were able to feel God's feelings.
