This signifies “weepers:” it was the place near Gilgal where an angel of the Lord charged the Israelites with having disobeyed God in making leagues with the inhabitants of the land, and in not throwing down their altars; and told them the results. The people wept and sacrificed to the Lord (Judg. 2:1-5). Bochim symbolically is not simply “weepers,” but “weepers over disobedience.”
