Jdg 3:7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
groves
Groves, like high places, have been associated with idolatrous worship from time immemorial. The Hebrew asherah, translated "grove," means also the idol enshrined there (Deu 16:21). This idol seems often to have been a sacred tree, the figure of which is constantly found on Assyrian monuments. In apostate Israel, however, such groves were associated with every form of idolatry (e.g. 2Ki 17:16, 17). See, also, "high places" (Scofield 1Ki 3:2, note), and "Ashtaroth," Scofield Jdg 2:13, note.
See Deu 16:21.
Jdg 3:9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
