Contextual Overview

6 And whe Iosuah had sent the people away, the children of Israel went euery man into his inheritaunce to possesse the lande. 7 And the people serued the Lorde all the dayes of Iosuah, & all the dayes of the elders that outlyued Iosuah, & had seene al the great workes of the Lorde that he dyd for Israel. 8 And Iosuah the sonne of Nun, the seruaunt of the Lorde died, when he was an hundreth and ten yeres olde: 9 Whom they buried in the coastes of his inheritaunce [euen] in Thimnath Heres in mount Ephraim, on the northside of the hil Gaas. 10 And euen so all that generation were put vnto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which neither knewe the Lorde, nor yet the workes whiche he had done for Israel. 11 And then the children of Israel dyd wickedly in the sight of the Lorde, and serued Baalim, 12 And forsoke the Lord God of their fathers, whiche brought them out of the lande of Egypt, and folowed straunge goddes, euen of the goddes of the nations that were rounde about them, and bowed them selues vnto them, and angred the Lorde: 13 They forsoke the Lorde, and serued Baal and Astharoth. 14 And the wrath of the Lord waxed hot agaynst Israel, and he deliuered them into the handes of raueners, that spoyled them, & solde them into the handes of their enemies rounde about them, so that they had no power any longer to stande before their enemies. 15 But whythersoeuer they went out, the hand of the Lord was sore against them, euen as the Lord promised them, and as he sware vnto them: And he punished them sore.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they forsook the Lord,.... The worship of the Lord, as the Targum; this is repeated to observe the heinous sin they were guilty of, and how displeasing it was to God:

and served Baal and Ashtaroth; two images, as the Arabic version adds; Baal, from whence Baalim, may signify the he deities of the Gentiles, as Jupiter, Hercules, c. and Ashtaroth their female deities, as Juno, Venus, Diana, c. the word is plural, and used for flocks of sheep, so called because they make the owners of them rich and Kimchi and Ben Melech say these were images in the form of female sheep. Perhaps, as Baal may signify the sun, so Ashtaroth the moon, and the stars like flocks of sheep about her. Ashtaroth was the goddess of the Zidonians,

1 Kings 11:5 the same with Astarte, the wife of Cronus or Ham, said to be the Phoenician or Syrian Venus. So Lucian says r there was a temple in Phoenicia, belonging to the Sidonians, which they say is the temple of Astarte; and, says he, I think that Astarte is the moon; and Astarte is both by the Phoenicians s and Grecians t said to be Venus, and was worshipped by the Syrians also, as Minutius Felix u and Tertullian w affirm; the same with Eostre, or Aestar, the Saxon goddess; hence to this day we call the passover Easter x, being in Eoster-month; and with Andraste, a goddess of the ancient Britains y. There were four of them, and therefore the Septuagint here uses the plural number Astartes; so called either from Asher, being reckoned "blessed" ones, or from Asheroth, the groves they were worshipped in; or from עש, "Ash", and תור, "Tor", the constellation Taurus or the bull; so Astarte by Sanchoniatho is said to put upon her head the head of a bull, as the token of her sovereignty; 1 Kings 11:5- :.

r De Dea Syria. s Sanchoniatho apud Euseb. Evangel. Praepar. l. 1. p. 38. t Suidas in voce ασταρτη. u In Octavio, p. 6. w Apolog. c. 24. x Vid. Owen. Theologoumen, l. 3. c. 4. p. 192. y lb. c. 11. p. 244.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 2:13. Served Baal and Ashtaroth. — In a general way, probably, Baal and Ashtaroth mean the sun and moon; but in many cases Ashtaroth seems to have been the same among the Canaanites as Venus was among the Greeks and Romans, and to have been worshipped with the same obscene rites.
