Death of Joshua
7 Josh. 24:31So the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord which He had done for Israel. 8 Now Josh. 24:29Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died whenhewas one hundred and ten years old. 9 Josh. 24:30And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Josh. 19:49, 50Timnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash. 10 When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who Ex. 5:2; 1 Sam. 2:12; Gal. 4:8; (Titus 1:16)did not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.
Israel’s Unfaithfulness
11 Then the children of Israel did Judg. 3:7, 12; 4:1; 6:1evil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals; 12 and they Deut. 31:16; Judg. 8:33; 10:6forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed Deut. 6:14other gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they Ex. 20:5bowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger.
