ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף תהילים 34:1

TO ABIMELECH, KING OF THE PHILISTINES. It is not known whether this is the same Abimelech who lived in the days of Abraham¹⁰⁷Chapter 20. or whether every Philistine king was so called, for in the time of David he was also called Abimelech.¹¹⁸Psalms 34:1. Onkelos, however, is of the opinion that the Abimelech with whom Isaac dealt was a son [of the one mentioned in the account of Abraham].¹¹⁹Ramban refers to Onkelos’ translation of Verse 28, Let there be now an oath between us, and thee, which Onkelos translates as follows: “Let there be now an oath which was between our fathers between us and thee.” Thus Onkelos states that the present Abimelech was a son of the one who lived in the days of Isaac’s father.
The reason that Isaac went to Abimelech was that he intended to go down to Egypt, so he went to Abimelech, his father’s confederate, in the hope that perhaps he would deal kindly with him in the days of the famine, thus making it unnecessary for him to go down to Egypt. Now Abimelech, on account of his covenant with Abraham, did not harm him or his family at all. However, the men of the place¹²⁰Verse 7 here. asked Isaac, in mere quest, concerning his wife, and he said, She is my sister.¹²⁰Verse 7 here. Even so, neither the king nor any of his men touched her for they remembered the affair of Abraham.¹⁰⁷Chapter 20. Hence Abimelech said, One of the people might lightly have lain,¹²¹Verse 10 here. meaning to say, “I Abimelech did not touch her, and I was careful concerning her, but one of the men of the land might easily have stumbled, and then you would have made us incur guilt, as we sinned in the matter of your father.”

"And he cried" - [the understanding of this phrase stems] from the reasoning [that he screamed] from his counsel, knowledge, and intellect, like [it says in the verse] "[A Psalm of David,] when he changed his sanity [before Avimelech, and he drove him out and he left...]"(Tehillim 34:1).

"From the reasoning of the king"- Meaning to say, from his counsel and his intelligence, [both] he and his nobles- they all agreed to this. And similarly [it uses this word in the verses]: "He takes the reasoning of elders" (Iyov 12:20), "When he changed his sanity"(Tehillim 34:1), and those similar to them, and [Targum] Yonatan translates: "From the decree of the king."
