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.  
13 They forsook the Lord aand served Baal and the Ashtoreths.  
14 aAnd the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. So He bdelivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and cHe sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they dcould no longer stand before their enemies.  
15 Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for calamity, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had asworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.  
16 Nevertheless, athe Lord raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who plundered them.

Judges 2:13

Baal and Ashtaroth - That is, the sun and moon, whom many Heathens worshipped, tho' under divers names; and so they ran into that error which God had so expressly warned them against, Deuteronomy 4:19. Baalim signifies lords, and Ashtaroth, blessed ones, he - gods and she - gods. When they forsook Jehovah, they had gods many and lords many, as a luxuriant fancy pleased to multiply them.
