Context of Judges 2:9

7Then the people worshipped Adonai all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Adonai that He had done for Israel. 8Then Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Adonai, died at the age of 110 years, and they buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash. 10But when all that generation were gathered to their fathers, there arose another generation after them that did not experience Adonai or the work that He had done for Israel. 11Then Bnei-Yisrael did what was evil in Adonai’s eyes, and worshipped the Baalim.
