Genèse 21:34 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 21:34

And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
] Even many years, days being sometimes put for years; having entered into covenant with Abimelech, the king of the country, and settled a good correspondence with him, and having his friendship and good will, which commanded respect from his subjects, Abraham sojourned very quietly and comfortably for many years, chiefly at Beersheba; the Jewish writers say F1 he sojourned here twenty six years.
