Notes

Judges 2:14–15

When Israel worshipped other gods, God withdrew his support. Their rebellion led to military defeat and great distress from their enemies.

Judges 2:10–19

Joshua had died, and the new generation had not seen God's saving power. The Canaanites still lived in the land. This led to a cycle of rebellion and partial restoration. This section introduces that cycle, which the main part of the book shows.

Judges 2:6–3:6

The second prologue continues from the events of Joshua 23–24 (see study note on Judges 1:1–3:6). It introduces a third generation (Judges 2:10) who did not personally witness the Lord’s mighty acts.
