Genesis 20:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 20:15

And Abimelech said, behold, my whole land [is] before thee,
&c.] Instead of bidding him be gone, and sending him away in haste out of his country, as the king of Egypt did in a like case, he solicits his stay in it; and to encourage him to it, makes an offer of his whole kingdom to him, to choose which part of it he would to dwell in: dwell where it pleaseth thee;
if there was anyone part of it better than another, or more convenient for him, his family and his flocks, he was welcome to it.
