The subject still continues, of Abraham's history. Every circumstance relating to the Patriarch becomes important, and as such the Holy Ghost hath been pleased to transmit it to the church. In this Chapter we find the Patriarch engaged in making provision for the settlement of his son Isaac. Accordingly he sends his eldest servant to seek a wife for him among his own kindred: the departure of the servant on this embassy, and the success of it are here related. Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, consents to become the wife of Isaac, and the marriage is consummated.

What was said to Hezekiah, Isaiah 38:1 is in effect said to every aged person.
