Why didn't you tell me?
I find it typical that Abraham reproved Abimelech for something his servants did without asking first about it. It was as if Abraham assumed he knew what all his servants did. Yet, today people do this stuff all the time. People assume and get it wrong. If Abraham had gone to him before now, it seems to me the king would have made it right.
The take away is don't assume without all the facts.
I have to wonder what kind of man Abimelech was to still show kindness to Abraham after nearly losing his life after taking Abraham's wife and now to accept criticism for something he had no knowledge of.
