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 Kings 21:6;
Micah 5:12). This may be the oak at Shechem under which Abram pitched his tent (see SHECHEM >> T0003330), the "enchanter's oak," so called, perhaps, from Jacob's hiding the "strange gods" under it (
Gen. 35:4)
