Judges 2:1-11

Judges 2:1-11

[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. [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  [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. [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.  [5] And they called  the name  of that place  Bochim:  and they sacrificed  there unto the LORD.  [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:
