Judges 2:6–13

Joshua Dies

^6aWhen Joshua had dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went each to his inheritance to possess the land.

⁷The people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who ¹survived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the Lord which He had done for Israel.

⁸Then Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.

⁹And they buried him in the territory of ^ahis inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

¹⁰All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who ^adid not know the Lord, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel.

Israel Serves Baals

¹¹Then the sons of Israel did ^aevil in the sight of the Lord and ¹served the ^bBaals,

¹²and ^athey forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; thus they provoked the Lord to anger.

¹³So they forsook the Lord and ^aserved Baal and the Ashtaroth.
