2518. Verse 4. And Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, wilt Thou slay also a righteous nation? “Abimelech had not come near her,” signifies that in the doctrine of faith rational truth had not been consulted in any manner; “and he said, Lord, wilt Thou slay also a righteous nation?” signifies whether would the good and truth of doctrine be extinguished.
