Compare all
17 And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.”
18 aSo she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink.  
19 And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”
20 Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether athe Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.

Genesis 24:19

I will draw water for thy camels also - Had Rebekah done no more than Eliezer had prayed for, we might have supposed that she acted not as a free agent, but was impelled to it by the absolutely controlling power of God; but as she exceeds all that was requested, we see that it sprang from her native benevolence, and sets her conduct in the most amiable point of view.
