Judges 2

JUDGES 2

·         Israel's good behavior under Joshua,  and the elders that outlived him,  #Jud 2:6-9;

·         their idolatries they fell into afterwards,  which greatly provoked the Lord to anger,  #Jud 2:10-15;

·         the goodness of God to them nevertheless,  in raising up judges to deliver them out of the hands of their enemies,  of which there are many instances in the following chapter,  #Jud 2:16-18;

·         Yet upon the demise of such persons, they relapsed into idolatry which caused the anger of God to be hot against them, and to determine not to drive out the Canaanites utterly from them, but to leave them among them to try them,  #Jud 2:19-23.

“Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals,” (Jud 2:11 NAS95)

 “The sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asheroth.” (Jud 3:7 NAS95)

 “Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.” (Jud 3:12 NAS95)

 “Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud died.” (Jud 4:1 NAS95)

 “Then the sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD gave them into the hands of Midian seven years.” (Jud 6:1 NAS95)

 “Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.” (Jud 10:6 NAS95)
