John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 2:13

Baal and Ashtaroth — That is, the sun and moon, whom many Heathens worshipped, tho' under divers names; and so they ran into that error which God had so expressly warned them against, Deuteronomy 4:19. Baalim signifies lords, and Ashtaroth, blessed ones, he — gods and she — gods. When they forsook Jehovah, they had gods many and lords many, as a luxuriant fancy pleased to multiply them.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Judges 2:13

And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and (f) Ashtaroth.

(f) These were idols, which had the form of a ewe or sheep among the Sidonians.
