Seeing ye hate me - He was justified in thinking thus, because if they did not injure him, they had connived at their servants doing it.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Then Abimelech went to him--As there was a lapse of ninety years between the visit of Abraham and of Isaac, the Abimelech and Phichol spoken of must have been different persons' official titles.
