From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Yet they tempted and provoked ... -They tried the patience of God, and provoked him to anger after they were peaceably settled in the promised land. SeeJudges 2:10-13. The object is to show that it was the character of the people that they were prone to depart from God. ComparePsalms 78:10-11, note;Psalms 78:17, note;Psalms 78:40, note.
