NET Notes

¹tn Heb “set against him bandits.”

¹sn Putting bandits in the hills. This piracy certainly interrupted or discouraged trade, and probably deprived Abimelech of tariffs or tribute. See C. F. Burney, Judges, 277; G. F. Moore, Judges (ICC), 253.

²tn Heb “on the tops of.”

³tn Heb “It was told to Abimelech.”
