创世记 26:17-18 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 26:12-25

Here we have, I. The tokens of God's good-will to Isaac. He blessed him, and prospered him, and made all that he had to thrive under his hands. 1. His corn multiplied strangely, Gen. 26:12. He had no land of his own, but took land of the Philistines, and sowed it; and (be it observed for the encouragement of poor tenants, that occupy other people's lands, and are honest and industrious) God blessed him with a great increase. He reaped a hundred fold; and there seems to be an emphasis laid upon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 26:17

And Isaac departed thence ,.... At once, peaceably and quietly, though to his loss and disadvantage, without taking himself either to argument or arms, in favour of himself; he departed immediately, as soon as he perceived his abode was disagreeable to the king and his people; which gives us a very agree, able idea of the calm and peaceable disposition of Isaac: and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there ; at some distance from the city of Gerar, as Jarchi observes.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 26:18

And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father ,.... This seems to refer to the same wells made mention of in Genesis 26:15 , since it follows: for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham ; these were what Abraham's servants had dug, when he lived at Gerar, and which the Philistines durst not stop during his life; but when he was dead and particularly out of envy to Isaac his son, whom they observed to prosper... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 26:18

In the days of Abraham - Instead of בימי bimey , in the days, Houbigant contends we should read עבדי abdey , servants. Isaac dug again the wells which the servants of Abraham his father had dug. This reading is supported by the Samaritan, Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate; and it is probably the true one. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 26:18

Verse 18 18.And Isaac digged again the wells of water. First, we see that the holy man was so hated by his neighbors, as to be under the necessity of seeking a retreat for himself which was destitute of water; and no habitation is so troublesome and inconvenient for the ordinary purposes of life as that which suffers from scarcity of water. Besides, the abundance of his cattle and the multitude of his servants — who were like a little army — rendered a supply of water very necessary; whence we... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 26:1-35

Line upon line, in God's teaching. Isaac, like his father, has his time of sojourn among the Philistines. The events of his intercourse with the Abimelech of his day resemble those of the former patriarch, though there are differences which show that the recurrence is historical . I. GOD REPEATS HIS LESSONS that they may make the deeper impression. The intention of the record is to preserve a certain line of Divine guidance . Isaac trod in the footsteps of Abraham. We have... read more

A good man's prosperity. I. WHENCE IT PROCEEDED . 1. The industry of Isaac . "Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold." An intimate connection subsists between diligence and prosperity. 2. The blessing of God . "And the Lord blessed him. As without Divine assistance the best contrived and most laboriously applied means may fail in the accumulation of material goods, so with heavenly succor the least likely instruments can achieve... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 26:17

And Isaac —perhaps not without remonstrance, but without offering resistance, as became a saint ( Matthew 5:5 ; Romans 12:17 , Romans 12:18 ; Hebrews 12:14 ; 1 Peter 3:9 )— departed thence ( i . e . from Gerar), and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, —a valley or nahal meant a low, flat region watered by a mountain stream. The Wady Gerar has been identified with the Joorf - el - Gerar , the rush or rapid of Gerar, three hours south-east of Gaza— and dwelt... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 26:18

And Isaac digged again —literally, returned and digged , i . e . re-dug (cf. 2. Kings Genesis 20:5 )— the wells of water, which they (the servants of Abraham) had digged in the days Of Abraham his father ;—from which it appears that Abraham had digged other wells besides that of Beersheba ( Genesis 21:31 )— for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham :—which was a violation of the league into which Abimelech had entered with the patriarch ( vide ... read more
