Judges 2

The angel of the LORD rebukes Israel for making arrangements with the inhabitants of the land and failing to tear down their altars. The chapter then steps back to explain the entire pattern of Judges: after Joshua’s generation dies, Israel turns to Baal worship, the LORD gives them into enemies’ hands, they cry under oppression, and God raises judges who deliver them. Yet after each judge dies, the nation turns back and becomes corrupt again.
