What is the meaning of "Echad k'So'ar Bnei ha'Melech"?

1.

Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: One of them, his form was like that of Bnei ha'Melech. 1

2.

Rashi: (You are like them.) You all have the form of Bnei ha'Melech.

3.

Malbim: They conducted with royal etiquette, therefore we considered them to be rebelling against us. [Zevach and Tzalmuna] thought that they were Gid'on's (the king's) sons, and they are Chayav Misah for their father's rebellion, according to the statutes of Midyan.

Radak: This Perush is primary. The note for Echad is separate (it is not read with "like you, like them"). They mentioned Bnei ha'Melech, for they are raised amidst pleasures.

2)

What is the meaning of "Eifo ha'Anashim"?

1.

Radak: What was their appearance and nature?

3)

Whom did they kill in Tavor?

Malbim: When Zevach and Tzalmuna fled to cross the Yarden, they passed through Tavor and killed Gid'on's brothers.

4)

What is the meaning of "Kamocha Chemohem Echad"?

1.

Rashi: You are like them; you have one common form [like Bnei ha'Melech].

2.

Mahari Kara: Everyone explains 'if only we did to you like we did to them!' This is wrong. It does not answer the question. Also the question is unclear. Gid'on knew that they are [dead] in Tavor! May Hashem enlighten our eyes!

3.

Malbim: They were Chayav Misah like you are. Also they rebelled against us!
