SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:1
¶ Y hubo hambre en la tierra, además de la primera hambre que fue en los días de Abraham; y se fue Isaac a Abimelec rey de los filisteos, en Gerar.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 26:1
Verse 1. There was a famine] When this happened we cannot tell; it appears to have been after the death of Abraham. Concerning the first famine, see chap. xii. 10. Abimelech] As we know not the time when the famine happened, so we cannot tell whether this was the same Abimelech, Phichol, &c., which are mentioned chap. xx. 1, 2, &c., or the sons or other descendants of these persons.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Isaac had been trained up in a believing dependence upon the Divin grant of the land of Canaan to him and his heirs; and now that there is a famine in the land, Isaac still cleaves to the covenant. The rea worth of God's promises cannot be lessened to a believer by any cros providences that may befall him. If God engage to be with us, and we are where he would have us to be, nothing but our own unbelief an distrust can prevent our comfort. The obedience of Abraham to the Divine command, was evidence of that faith, whereby, as a sinner, he was justified before God, and the effect of that love whereby tru faith works. God testifies that he approved this obedience, to encourage others, especially Isaac.
