5 So they called that place Bochim [Those Who Cry]. They offered sacrifices there to the LORD.

6 Now, Joshua sent the people of Israel home. So each family went to take possession of the territory they had inherited.

11 The people of Israel did what the LORD considered evil. They began to serve other gods--the Baals.

15 Whenever the Israelites went to war, the power of the LORD brought disaster on them. This was what the LORD said he would do in an oath. So he made them suffer a great deal.
