📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative, Abraham and Sarah were traveling in the region of Gerar, where Abimelech was the king of the Philistines. Abraham feared for his life and lied by saying Sarah was his sister, which led Abimelech to take her into his household, unaware of the truth. God then intervened by appearing to Abimelech in a dream, warning him of the deception and commanding him to return Sarah, which explains his urgent response in this verse.
