Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Abimelech got him up to Mount Zalmon,.... A mountain near Shechem, and thought to be the same with Salmon in Psalms 68:14 which seems to have had its name from the shade of the trees which grew upon it:
he and all the people that were with him; his whole army:
and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees; which grew upon Mount Zalmon:
and took it, and laid it on his shoulders; and carried it along with him:
and said unto the people that were with him, what ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done; take an axe, and every man cut down a bough with all possible haste, and lay it on his shoulder.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Zalmon - A lofty and thickly-wooded hill, as the etymology of the name (âshadyâ) implies, in the immediate neighborhood of Shechem: perhaps the same as Ebal. The setting fire to the hold, where the men of Shechem were all crowded together, with their wives and children, was the literal fulfillment of Jothamâs curse in Judges 9:20.
