Judges 9:37

‘ And Gaal spoke again, and said, “Look, people are coming down along the middle of the land, and one company comes by way of the Diviner's oak.” '

Gaal looked again and now he knew he was right. He saw two more companies, one coming through the middle between the two mountains and one coming by way of the Diviner's oak, a tree where soothsayers practised their arts, which were forbidden in Israel (Deuteronomy 18:10; Leviticus 19:26), another sign of the disobedience of the land.
