"And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger. And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth" (Judges 2:10-13).
How is it that there arose another generation after the faithful generation that didn't know God? How could that happen?
(1) They reject what they had been taught (Dt. 4:9).
(2) They follow the bad examples around them (Judges 1:19-35; 1 Cor. 15:33).
(3) They chose to forsake God and serve idols (Joshua 24:15).
