Judges 2:9

Verse 9 of 23. The 2nd of 21 chapters in Judges, in History.

5They called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to the LORD.

6Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel each went 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 outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD that he had worked for Israel.

8Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old.

9They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.

10After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know the LORD, nor the work which he had done for Israel.

11The children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and served the Baals.

12They abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.

13They abandoned the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
