SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:26

¶ Y Abimelec vino a él desde Gerar, y Ahuzat, amigo suyo, y Ficol, capitán de su ejército.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 26:26

Verse 26. Abimelech went to him] When a man's ways please
God, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him; so Isaac experienced on this occasion. Whether this was the same Abimelech and Phichol mentioned chap. xxi. 22, we cannot tell, it is possible both might have been now alive, provided we suppose them young in the days of Abraham; but it is more likely that Abimelech was a general name of the Gerarite kings, and that Phichol was a name of office.

Ahuzzath] The Targum translates this word a company, not considering it as a proper name: ""Abimelech and Phichol came with a company of their friends."" The Septuagint calls him ocozaq o numfagwgov, Ochozath, the paranymph, he who conducts the bride to the bridegroom's house. Could we depend on the correctness of this version, we might draw the following curious conclusions from it: 1. That this was the son of that Abimelech the friend of Abraham. 2. That he had been lately married, and on this journey brings with him his confidential friend, to whom he had lately intrusted the care of his spouse.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 26-33 - When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be a peace with him, Pr 16:7. Kings' hearts are in his hands, and when he pleases, he can turn them to favour his people. It is not wrong to stand upon our guard in dealing with those who have acted unfairly. But Isaac did not insist on the unkindnesses they had done him; he freel entered into friendship with them. Religion teaches us to be neighbourly, and, as much as in us lies, to live peaceable with all men. Providence smiled upon what Isaac did; God blessed his labours.
