Judges 2:1
|
|
And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal
to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto
the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant
with you. |
|
|
|
|
| Judges 2:2 |
|
And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants
of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice:
why have ye done this? |
| |
|
|
| Judges 2:3 |
|
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them
out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods
shall be a snare unto you. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 2:4 |
|
And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD
spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their
voice, and wept. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 2:5 |
|
And they called the name of that place Bochim:
and they sacrificed there unto the LORD. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 2:6 |
|
And when Joshua had let the people go, the children
of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 2:7 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:8 |
|
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the
LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:9 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:10 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:11 |
|
And the children of Israel did evil in the
sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:12 |
|
And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers,
which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods
of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and
provoked the LORD to anger. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:13 |
|
And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and
Ashtaroth. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:14 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:15 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:16 |
|
Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which
delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:17 |
|
And yet they would not hearken unto their judges,
but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they
turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments
of the LORD; but they did not so. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:18 |
|
And when the LORD raised them up judges, then
the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies
all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings
by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. |
|
|
|
| Judges 2:19 |
|
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead,
that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following
other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their
own doings, nor from their stubborn way. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 2:20 |
|
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel;
and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded
their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; |
| |
|
|
| Judges 2:21 |
|
I also will not henceforth drive out any from
before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: |
|
|
|
|
| Judges 2:22 |
|
That through them I may prove Israel, whether
they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep
it, or not. |
|
|
|
|
| Judges 2:23 |
|
Therefore the LORD left those nations, without
driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. |
