3
But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife."
22
It happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.
23
Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner."
24
Abraham said, "I will swear."
25
Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
26
Abimelech said, "I don't know who has done this thing. You didn't tell me, neither did I hear of it, until today."
27
Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
28
Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29
Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
30
He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well."
31
Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore there.
32
So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
26
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.
Son ami : son conseiller intime. David et Salomon avaient des fonctionnaires semblables (2Samuel 15.37 ; 1Rois 4.5).
Picol. Le nom du général et celui du roi sont les mêmes que dans 21.22-34. Mais comme le mot Abimélek peut être un titre donné à tous les rois des Philistins, il est possible que le mot Picol soit de même un titre donné au général en chef de l'armée, car il signifie bouche de tous.
La religion nous enseigne à entretenir avec notre voisinage des relations amicales, et, autant que possible, à vivre en paix avec tous les hommes. Les œuvres d'Isaac ont été bénies par la Providence. Dieu a béni son travail.
