Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 20:2

2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, she is my sister : and Abimelech King of Gerar sent and took Sarah .

Left they should slay him for his beautiful Wifes sake, as himself tels us, ver. 11. For though Sarah was ninety years old, yet she retained her beauty in good measure, partly because she had not been broken by bearing and nursing of Children, partly because in that age of the World Men and Women as they lived longer, so they did not so soon begin to decay, as now they do: and partly because of Gods especial blessing upon her.

Not without violence, for it is not to be thought that either Abraham or Sarah would consent to it.
