Judges 2:12

¹²And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed down to them. And they provoked the Lord to anger.

Judges 2 marks a pivotal shift in Israel's history, moving from the hopeful conquest narratives of Joshua to the cyclical pattern of disobedience, oppression, cries for help, and deliverance that defines the book of Judges. The chapter opens with the Angel of the Lord rebuking Israel for failing to drive out the Canaanites, leading to national repentance. However, this initial sorrow quickly fades, and a new generation arises that does not know the Lord or His works, plunging Israel into idolatry and suffering under foreign oppressors. God raises up judges, but their influence is temporary, setting the stage for a long period of spiritual decline.
