38. This means when the Prophets asked for victory and help from Allah Almighty, or that when their followers implored Allah Almighty for help through the medium of these Prophets. Allah Almighty always blessed the believers with victory and destroyed the infidels.

The tafsir of Surah Ibrahim verse 15 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Ibrahim ayat 13 which provides the complete commentary from verse 13 through 17.
(14:15) They sought Our judgement. And (thanks to that judgement) every obstinate tyrant opposed to the Truth was brought to naught.[24]
24. In order to grasp the real significance of these historical events, it should be kept in view that these are being related here as answers to those objections which the disbelievers of Makkah raised before the Prophet (peace be upon him). As the conditions there at the time of the revelation of this Surah were exactly like those of the peoples of the former Prophets, they have been cited here to warn the Quraish along with the other mushriks of Arabia of the consequences, as if to say: The former disbelievers challenged their Messengers and were destroyed and the believers were established in the land. Likewise your future also entirely depends on the attitude you adopt towards the message of your Prophet. If you accept this, you will be allowed to remain in the land of Arabia, and if you reject it you shall be utterly uprooted from here. The subsequent events proved that this prophecy was literally fulfilled within fifteen years after this, for there remained not a single mushrik in the whole of Arabia.
