20:2 Abraham told the same lie to Abimelech that he had told to Pharaoh (12:13); Isaac would later do the same (26:1-11), probably having learned this tactic from his father. • Abimelech (literally my father the king) was probably a title like “Pharaoh” (37:36; Exod 1:15), not a proper name (see study note on Gen 26:1).
