“And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.”
King James Version (KJV)
26:7 He said, she is my sister - So Isaac enters into the same temptation that his father had been once and again surprised and overcome by, viz. to deny his wife, and to give out that she was his sister! It is an unaccountable thing, that both these great and good men should be guilty of so odd a piece of dissimulation, by which they so much exposed both their own and their wives reputation.
26:8 This Abimelech was not the same that was in Abraham's days, #Ge 20:2 |- 18, for this was near an hundred years after, but that was the common name of the Philistine kings, as Caesar of the Roman emperors.
26:10 Lightly - Perhaps.
