Read Judges 2.6-19. In 2.6-19: The cyclical pattern. In verses 6-9: This statement is duplicated in Josh 24.28-31. The dismissal seems to close the assembly described in Josh 24.1-27, thereby skipping back over Judg 1.1-2.5. In verse 10: In contrast to the elders of v. 7, the ignorance of another generation sets in motion a repeated pattern of events. In verses 11-13: First Israel would abandon the Lord for other gods. Baals (vv.11, 13) and Astartes (v. 13) represents Canaanite religion as a whole (10.6). In verses 14-15: This would in turn lead to the Lord's anger and oppression by enemies. In verses 16-18: The Lord would then send judges (military leaders) to deliver Israel. In verse 19: But each time, the people would revert to the worship of other gods, and begin the cycle again.
