After Joshua and his generation died, the new generation that had been raised in the Promised land of plenty started worshiping idols. Whenever they would drift away from God by worshiping idols, God let their enemies oppress them. When they would cry out to God for help, God would raise up a Judge to deliver them. But when the Judge died, they would stop worshiping God and go back to the idols.
