Judges 2:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 2:10

8 Now ^aJoshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died when he was one hundred and ten years old.

9 ^aAnd they buried him within the border of his inheritance at ^bTimnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

10 When all that generation had¹ been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who ^adid not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.

Israel’s Unfaithfulness

11 Then the children of Israel did ^aevil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals;

12 and they ^aforsook the Lord God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed ^bother gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they ^cbowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger.

Judges 2:7-10

In two consecutive books, God inspired these writers to actually pump up this generation, give them good marks because it says they served the Lord. We know they did not do perfectly; they did not complete things totally. But maybe four stars, right? They did most of what God wanted them to do, and He was satisfied with them.

That is what He wants to see, but the Israelites of that generation, He could not do anything with them. So we want Him to be pleased, not angry. And what we get from the end of Joshua and the beginning of Judges was that He was actually pleased with the next generation because they knew the Lord and they did what the Lord said.
