In this chapter we have,
I. Isaac in adversity, by reason of a famine in the land, which,
1. Obliges him to change his quarters (v. 1). But,
2. God visits him with direction and comfort (v. 2-5).
3. He foolishly denies his wife, being in distress and is reproved for it by Abimelech (v. 6-11).
II. Isaac in prosperity, by the blessing of God upon him (v. 12-14). And,
1. The Philistines were envious at him (v. 14-17).
2. He continued industrious in his business (v. 18-23).
3. God appeared to him, and encouraged him, and he devoutly acknowledged God (v. 24, 25).
4. The Philistines, at length, made court to him, and made a covenant with him (v. 26-33).
5. The disagreeable marriage of his son Esau was an alloy to the comfort of his prosperity (v. 34, 35).
