Genesis 26:9

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And Abimelech called Isaac,.... Sent a messenger to desire him to come to him:and said, behold, of a surety she [is] thy wife: and then perhaps told him of what he had observed that passed between them; which was a clear proof that they must be man and wife, or he would never have took such liberties with her:and how saidst thou, she [is] my sister?

what reason hadst thou for it? what could induce thee to say so?
