Haydock's commentary
Thabor. Some of the relations or brothers of Gedeon had retired thither, as to a place of safety; and the latter wished to know what was become of them, that he might redeem them, if alive. (Calmet)
King. They answer with flattery, insinuating that Gedeon had the air of a king. (Menochius)
