And Gaal spake again, and said,.... Looking towards the mountains, and taking another view of what he before saw, for further satisfaction:see, there come people down by the middle of the land; either in the valley between the two mountains; or rather those he first saw on the top of the mountains were now come down about the middle of them, called in the Hebrew text the navel, from the prominence of the mountains thereabout, or because the navel is in the middle of the body, as this part of them was the middle on which he saw them.
R. Isaiah interprets it, between the two cities:and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim; of which we read nowhere else.
