9:46When all the leaders of the Tower of Shechem97 heard the news, they went to the stronghold98 of the temple of El-Berith.99
Footnotes
- 97 Perhaps the Tower of Shechem was a nearby town, distinct from Shechem proper, or a tower within the city.
- 98 Apparently this rare word refers here to the most inaccessible area of the temple, perhaps the inner sanctuary or an underground chamber. It appears only here and in 1 Sam 13:6, where it is paired with “cisterns” and refers to subterranean or cave-like hiding places.
- 99 The name El-Berith means “God of the Covenant.” It is probably a reference to the Canaanite high god El.
