Cross-References
Then Abimelech gave Abraham some sheep, cattle, and male and female slaves. He also gave Sarah, Abraham's wife, back to him
He lived in the Desert of Paran, and his mother found a wife for him in Egypt.
Then Abimelech came with Phicol, the commander of his army, and said to Abraham, "God is with you in everything you do.
So make a promise to me here before God that you will be fair with me and my children and my descendants. Be kind to me and to this land where you have lived as a stranger—as kind as I have been to you."
Make a promise to me before the Lord , the God of heaven and earth. Don't get a wife for my son from the Canaanite girls who live around here.
They answered, "Now we know that the Lord is with you. Let us swear an oath to each other. Let us make an agreement with you
Let us make an agreement, and let us set up a pile of stones to remind us of it."
Let the God of Abraham, who is the God of Nahor and the God of their ancestors, punish either of us if we break this agreement." So Jacob made a promise in the name of the God whom his father Isaac worshiped.
Respect the Lord your God. You must worship him and make your promises only in his name.
So now, promise me before the Lord that you will show kindness to my family just as I showed kindness to you. Give me some proof that you will do this.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the servants of Amon conspired against him,.... Some of his domestic servants, and perhaps his courtiers, not on account of his idolatry, but for some ill usage of them:
and slew the king in his own house: which they had an opportunity to do, being his servants.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This conspiracy may have been due to the popular reaction against the extreme idolatry which the young king had established.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 21:23. The servants of Amon conspired — What their reason was for slaying their king we cannot tell. It does not seem to have been a popular act, for the people of the land rose up and slew the regicides. We hear enough of this man when we hear that he was as bad as his father was in the beginning of his reign, but did not copy his father's repentance.
