"For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech,.... With large tumours probably, so that they could not cohabit with their husbands and conceive;
nor could those that had conceived bring forth: and this disorder they were smitten with: because of Sarah Abraham's wife; who was taken into the house of Abimelech, in order to be his; to rebuke and punish for which, and to convince of the evil of it, and cause to abstain from it, this disorder was inflicted on them.
