Judges 2:12

And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
Read Chapter 2

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
They followed strange gods. What is here said of the children of Israel, as to their falling so often into idolatry, is to be understood of a great part of them; but not so universally, as if the true worship of God was ever quite abolished among them: for the succession of the true church and religion was kept up all this time by the priest and Levites, at least in the house of God in Silo. (Challoner) At different times God raised up deliverers, who were taken from among his people, and no doubt abhorred the impiety of the multitude.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
