Judges 2:6–13

⁶And when ^jJoshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.

Death of Joshua

^7kSo the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord which He had done for Israel. ⁸Now ^lJoshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died when he was one hundred and ten years old. ^9mAnd they buried him within the border of his inheritance at ⁿTimnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash. ¹⁰When all that generation had ⁵been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who ^odid not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.

Israel’s Unfaithfulness

¹¹Then the children of Israel did ^pevil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals; ¹²and they ^qforsook the Lord God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed ^rother gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they ^sbowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger. ¹³They forsook the Lord ^tand served ⁶Baal and the ⁷Ashtoreths.
