Judges 2:6-15

Judges 2:6-15

[6] And when Joshua  had let the people  go,  the children  of Israel  every man  unto his inheritance  to possess  the land.  [7] And the people  served  the LORD  all the days  of Joshua,  and all the days  of the elders  that outlived  Joshua,  who had seen  all the great  works  of the LORD,  that he did  for Israel.  [8] And Joshua  the son  of Nun,  the servant  of the LORD,  died,  being an hundred  and ten  years  old.  [9] And they buried  him in the border  of his inheritance  in Timnathheres,  in the mount  of Ephraim,  on the north side  of the hill  Gaash.  [10] And also all that generation  were gathered  unto their fathers:  and there arose  another  generation  after  them, which knew  not the LORD,  nor yet the works  which he had done  for Israel.  [11] And the children  of Israel  did  evil  in the sight  of the LORD,  and served  Baalim:  [12] And they forsook  the LORD  God  of their fathers,  which brought them out  of the land  of Egypt,  other  gods,  of the people  that were round about  them, and bowed  themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD  to anger.  [13] And they forsook  the LORD,  and served  Baal  and Ashtaroth.  [14] And the anger  of the LORD  was hot  against Israel,  and he delivered  them into the hands  of spoilers  that spoiled  them, and he sold  them into the hands  of their enemies  round about,  so that they could  not any longer  stand  before  their enemies.  [15] Whithersoever they went out,  the hand  of the LORD  was against them for evil,  as the LORD  had said,  and as the LORD  had sworn  unto them: and they were greatly  distressed.
