Meonenim
(Judg 9:37; A.V., “the plain of Meonenim;” R.V., “the oak of Meonenim”) means properly “soothsayers” or “sorcerers,” “wizards” (Deut 18:10, Deut 18:14; 2 Kgs 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).
