Genesis 20:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

What hast thou done unto us? How great a danger hast thou exposed us to! A great sin: even the heathens, who thought fornication harmless, judge adultery to be a very great and heinous crime. See Genesis 38:24 Leviticus 20:10 Ezekiel 16:38, Ezekiel 23:45,47. Or, a great punishment, as this word is oft used; which seems better to answer to his offending Abraham now mentioned.

Genesis 20:9

9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
