“And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?”
Abimelech asks what was his reason for doing this. The question goes beyond what to why — seeking the internal logic of Abraham's behavior. James 4:1 asks where fights come from — they come from within. The same inquiry is Abimelech's. The application: when you have caused harm, the question of why — honestly answered — is more valuable than the apology. Understanding the fear that drove the behavior begins the work of not repeating it.
