Cross-References
This is the family history of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran was the father of Lot.
Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (Haran's son), and his daughter-in-law Sarai (Abram's wife) and moved out of Ur of Babylonia. They had planned to go to the land of Canaan, but when they reached the city of Haran, they settled there.
It was by faith Abraham obeyed God's call to go to another place God promised to give him. He left his own country, not knowing where he was to go.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they said,.... One in the name of the rest, or they all cried out as one man:
thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us; had done them no wrong, neither privately nor publicly, by fraud or by force:
neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand; as a gift, present, or bribe, to fit your his cause. Some would infer hence that be took nothing of them for his support and maintenance, and that he lived upon his own substance; but that is not likely or reasonable; it was but just that they should support him and his family suitably to his character as a judge, whose whole life was spent in their service.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 12:4. They said, Thou hast not defrauded — Of what minister or governor can any nation under heaven say such things?
