“Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.”
Early the next morning Abimelech summons all his officials and tells them everything, and they are very afraid. The fear that spreads through the court is the appropriate response to discovering they have nearly incurred divine judgment unknowingly. Proverbs 9:10 states that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. The application: the right response to learning you have nearly committed a serious wrong — even unknowingly — is fear that leads to correction.
