Jueces 9:37 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:37

And Gaal spake again, and said
Looking towards the mountains, and taking another view of what he before saw, for further satisfaction:

see, there come people down by the middle of the land;
either in the valley between the two mountains; or rather those he first saw on the top of the mountains were now come down about the middle of them, called in the Hebrew text the navel, from the prominence of the mountains thereabout, or because the navel is in the middle of the body, as this part of them was the middle on which he saw them. R. Isaiah interprets it, between the two cities:

and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim;
of which we read nowhere else. Montanus renders it, "the oak of Meonenim"; or of the soothsayers; oaks being had in great esteem with idolaters for their oracles and divinations; and perhaps this was a place, whether an oak or, a plain, where such persons used to meet to make their divinations.

35 Y Gaal hijo de Ebed sali贸, y se puso a la entrada de la puerta de la ciudad; y Abimelec y todo el pueblo que con 茅l estaba , se levantaron de la emboscada.
36 Y viendo Gaal el pueblo, dijo a Zebul: He all铆 pueblo que desciende de las cumbres de los montes. Y Zebul le respondi贸: La sombra de los montes te parece hombres.
37 Mas Gaal volvi贸 a hablar, y dijo: He all铆 pueblo que desciende por medio de la tierra, y un escuadr贸n viene camino de la campi帽a de Meonenim.
38 Y Zebul le respondi贸: 驴D贸nde est谩 ahora aquel dicho que dec铆as: Qui茅n es Abimelec para que le sirvamos? 驴No es 茅ste el pueblo que ten铆as en poco? Sal pues ahora, y pelea con 茅l.
39 Y Gaal sali贸 delante de los se帽ores de Siquem, y pele贸 contra Abimelec.
