The Bible makes it plain that Israel was God's chosen people as long as they continued obedient to him they will continue in that favored position. Israel had to obey Jehovah God exclusively, if not Jehovah will allow their enemies to conquer them. They had the choice, as we all do created with free will. Remember Israel was in a covenant with Jehovah God, before they entered the promised land, we can read the reminders Jehovah gave them in Deuteronomy 30:17 says "But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, and you are actually seduced and bow down to other gods and serve them, 18. I do tell you today that you will positively perish, you will not lengthen your days on the ground to which you are crossing the Jordan to go to take possession of it. 19. I do take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you today, that I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the malediction, and you must choose life in order that you may keep alive, you and your offspring, 20. by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice... Israel will be destroyed only if they disobeyed JEHOVAH GOD.
