Genesis 12:18
Compare all
16 He atreated Abram well for her sake. He bhad sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.  
17 But the Lord aplagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.  
18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, a“What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?  
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’? I might have taken her as my wife. Now therefore, here is your wife; take her and go your way.”
20 aSo Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.

Genesis 12:18

What is this that thou hast done? - What an ill thing; how unbecoming a wife and good man! Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? - Intimating, that if he had known that, he would not have taken her. It is a fault, too common among good people, to entertain suspicions of others beyond what there is cause for. We have often found more of virtue, honour, and conscience in some people, than we thought there was; and it ought to be a pleasure to us to be thus disappointed, as Abram was here, who found Pharaoh to be a better man than he expected.
