(
Judg. 9:37; A.V., "the plain of Meonenim;" R.V., "the oak of Meonenim") means properly "soothsayers" or "sorcerers," "wizards" (
Dt. 18:10, 14; 2 Ki. 21:6; Mic. 5:12). This may be the oak at Shechem under which Abram pitched his tent (
See Shechem), the "enchanter's oak," so called, perhaps, from Jacob's hiding the "strange gods" under it (
Gen. 35:4).
