Musar к Берешит 21:25
וְהוֹכִ֥חַ אַבְרָהָ֖ם אֶת־אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ עַל־אֹדוֹת֙ בְּאֵ֣ר הַמַּ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר גָּזְל֖וּ עַבְדֵ֥י אֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
И Авраам обличил Авимелеха за колодец воды, который Авимелех'Слуги насильственно забрали.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
והוכיח אברהם את אבימלך . Rabbi Yossi in the name of Rabbi Chaninah says that admonition eventually produces a feeling of love for the one who admonishes. We know this from Proverbs 9,8: "Admonish the wise and he will love you." Rabbi Yossi firmly believed that any "peace" that does not include admonition is no true peace (Bereshit Rabbah 54,3).
