The recurring problem in the book of Judges is that **the Israelites had not pushed out the foreign nations that God told them to destroy**. This failure led to a cycle of disobedience, oppression by surrounding nations, repentance, and deliverance through judges whom God raised up to save them. The lack of driving out these foreign nations resulted in the Israelites assimilating into the cultures and practices of those nations, which ultimately led to unfaithfulness to God.
