Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 22-34 - Abimelech felt sure that the promises of God would be fulfilled to Abraham. It is wise to connect ourselves with those who are blessed of God; and we ought to requite kindness to those who have been kind to us. Wells of water are scarce and valuable in eastern countries Abraham took care to have his title to the well allowed, to preven disputes in future. No more can be expected from an honest man tha that he be ready to do right, as soon as he knows he has done wrong Abraham, being now in a good neighbourhood, stayed a great while there There he made, not only a constant practice, but an open profession of his religion. There he called on the name of the Lord, as the everlasting God; probably in the grove he planted, which was his plac of prayer. Abraham kept up public worship, in which his neighbour might join. Good men should do all they can to make others so. Whereve we sojourn, we must neither neglect nor be ashamed of the worship of Jehovah __________________________________________________________________
