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, 14; 2 Kgs 21:6; Mic 5:12). This may be the oak at Shechem under which Abram pitched his tent, the “enchanter’s oak,” so called, perhaps, from Jacob’s hiding the “strange gods” under it (Gen 35:4).
