Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 20:1

"And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.""From thence ..." does not refer to the cave of Lot and his two daughters, but to the residence of Abraham at Mamre. This Biblical example of picking up antecedents removed from the immediate context is common, and the appearance of it here is no excuse for alleging "a variant source" for these words."And he sojourned in Gerar ..." The abbreviated narrative here... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 20:2-3

"And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech sent, and took Sarah. But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife."This was not merely the second offense of Abraham after this manner, but it was just another outcropping of what had been a regular procedure by him and Sarah throughout the many years of their wanderings, as indicated by Genesis 20:13. The... read more

Genesis 20:1. Journeyed from thence toward, &c.— Not able to endure the melancholy prospect, which the desolated cities afforded, whence too, probably, a noxious stench might arise, Abraham removed from his usual place of abode at Mamre, towards those parts in the south of Palestine, which lie near to AEgypt; and having continued some time in the country between Kadesh and Shur, he at length took up his abode at Gerar, the metropolis of Palestine, which city appears to have been situated in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 20:2

Genesis 20:2. Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister— It appears from Gen 20:13 that it was mutually agreed between Abraham and Sarah to pass for brother and sister, in the strange places and courts whither they should happen to come; so that it is no wonder to find the same incident repeated. See ch. Genesis 12:13. And it also appears from Gen 12:12 that they thought this device justifiable, as they were indeed brother and sister by the father's side; so that they told the truth, but... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 20:3

Genesis 20:3. But God came to Abimelech, &c.— It is hence evident, as well as from other instances, that the Canaanites, in Abraham's time, were not all corrupted in religion. Abimelech and his servants appear to have been worshippers of the true God, see Gen 20:8 as they were evidently regarded by God, who thus interposed for their welfare. God never left himself without witnesses; nor, though peculiarly kind to Abraham, was he a stranger to other nations. He spake to them in dreams and in... read more

1. Abraham journeyed from thence . . . and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur—Leaving the encampment, he migrated to the southern border of Canaan. In the neighborhood of Gerar was a very rich and well-watered pasture land. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 20:2

2. Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister—Fear of the people among whom he was, tempted him to equivocate. His conduct was highly culpable. It was deceit, deliberate and premeditated—there was no sudden pressure upon him—it was the second offense of the kind [see on :-] —it was a distrust of God every way surprising, and it was calculated to produce injurious effects on the heathen around. Its mischievous tendency was not long in being developed. Abimelech (father-king) . . . sent... read more
