NETBible

to loot and plunder, to attack the inhabited ruins and the people gathered from the nations, who are acquiring cattle and goods, who live at the center of the earth.”

NET Notes

tn Heb “to turn your hand against.”

tn The Hebrew term occurs elsewhere only in Judg 9:37. Perhaps it means “high point, top.”
