- καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ Ἰωαθάν· καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ κορυφὴν ὄρους Γαρειζείν, καὶ ἐπῆρεν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἀκούσατέ μου, ἄνδρες Σικίμων, καὶ ἀκούσεται ὑμῶν ὁ θεός.

Haydock's commentary
Stood on. As Abimelech was a figure of Antichrist, who will reign for a time, so Joatham denotes the pastors of the church, who shall stand up for the truth. (Worthington)
Garizim. At the foot of this mountain Sichem was built. Joatham addressed the people of the city, probably during the absence of Abimelech, (Calmet) when, Josephus ([Antiquities?] v. 9.) says, a great festival was celebrated.
