Contextual Overview

⁶ Then Joshua sent the people back to their land. ⁷ The people served the Lord during the lifetime of Joshua and during the lifetimes of the elders who lived after Joshua and who had seen what great things the Lord had done for Israel. ⁸ Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord , died at the age of one hundred ten. ⁹ They buried him in his own land at Timnath Serah in the mountains of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. ¹⁰ After those people had died, their children grew up and did not know the Lord or what he had done for Israel. ¹¹ So they did what the Lord said was wrong, and they worshiped the Baal idols. ¹² They quit following the Lord , the God of their ancestors who had brought them out of Egypt. They began to worship the gods of the people who lived around them, and that made the Lord angry. ¹³ The Israelites quit following the Lord and worshiped Baal and Ashtoreth. ¹⁴ The Lord was angry with the people of Israel, so he handed them over to robbers who took their possessions. He let their enemies who lived around them defeat them; they could not protect themselves. ¹⁵ When the Israelites went out to fight, they always lost, because the Lord was not with them. The Lord had sworn to them this would happen. So the Israelites suffered very much.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when the judge was dead,.... Any one of them, the first and so all succeeding ones:

[that] they returned; to their evil ways and idolatrous practices, from which they reformed, and for which they showed outward repentance during the life of the judge; but he dying, they returned again to them:

and corrupted [themselves] more than their fathers; in Egypt and in the wilderness; or rather than their fathers that lived in the generation after the death of Joshua; and so in every generation that lived before a judge was raised up to deliver them out of the evils brought upon them; the children of those in every age successively grew worse than their fathers:

in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; not content with the idols their fathers served, they sought after and found out others, and were more constant and frequent in their worship and service of them, and increased their sacrifices and acts of devotion to them:

they ceased not from their own doings; or, "did not let them fall" b; but retained them, and continued in the practice of them, being what they were naturally inclined unto and delighted in:

nor from their stubborn way; which they were bent upon, and determined to continue in: or "their hard way" c; which their hard hearts had chosen, and they obstinately persisted in, being obdurate and stiffnecked; and which, in the issue, they would find hard, troublesome, and distressing to them, though at present soft and agreeable, and in which they went on smoothly; but in time would find it rough and rugged, offensive, stumbling, and ruinous; or it may signify a hard beaten path, a broad road which multitudes trod in, as is the way of sin.

b לא הפילו "non Cadere faciebant", Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus, Drusius. c מדרכם הקשה "de via sua dura", Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, Drusius.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 2:19. When the judge was dead — It appears that in general the office of the judge was for life.

Their stubborn way. — Their hard or difficult way. Most sinners go through great tribulation, in order to get to eternal perdition; they would have had less pain in their way to heaven.
