6
And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

√ yâçaph — to add or augment (often adverbial, to continue to do a thing)Conjunctive wawVerbHifilConsecutive imperfectthird person masculine plural
yâçaph — to add, to augment, to continue doing The unit's controlling verb. Israel adds evil (v. 6); God answers that He will not add to save (v. 13, same H3254). The two ends of the lawsuit are welded together by one root, so that the sentence God passes is shaped like the sin He passes it on.

√ ʻâbad — to work (in any sense)Conjunctive wawVerbQalConsecutive imperfectthird person masculine plural
ʻâbad — to work, to serve (as a slave serves) The verb of servitude, used four times across the unit (vv. 6 twice, 10, 13, 16). Whom Israel serves is the question the whole passage turns on; and because ʻâbad is the word for slave-labour, v. 7's “sold them” is not a change of subject but the wage of the same word.

√ Baʻal — Baal, a Phoenician deityArticleNounmasculine plural
Baʻal — lord, a Phoenician deity The plural “Baals” is, as K&D notes on v. 10, “a general term used to denote all the false gods, as in Judges 2:11.” It is the name Israel itself uses in its confession (v. 10), which is why the confession sounds true.

√ ʻAshtârôwth — Ashtaroth, the name of a Sidonian deity, and of a place East of the JordanArticleNounproperfeminine singular
ʻAshtârôwth — Ashtaroth, a Sidonian deity A rare name (12 verses in the whole Hebrew Bible). Its narrow distribution is what makes the verbal link to Judges 2:13 and to 1 Samuel 7:3-4 and 12:10 a real one rather than a generic echo: the same three-word formula of forsaking YHWH and serving Baals and Ashtaroth is the fixed confession-language of this literature.

√ ʻâzab — to loosen, iConjunctive wawVerbQalConsecutive imperfectthird person masculine plural
ʻâzab — to loosen, to let go, to forsake The hinge of the unit: Israel forsakes God (v. 6), confesses that it forsook Him (v. 10), and is told “you have forsaken Me” (v. 13), all H5800. Poole reads the movement exactly: before, they worshipped God and idols together; now they let go entirely.
