Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 20:3

3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man , for the woman which chou hast taken : for she is a mans wife.

God then used to manifest his mind in dreams not onely to his People, but even to Heathens for their sakes, or in things wherein they were concerned.

Thou deservest a present and untimely Death, and if thou proceedest in thy intended wickedness, it shall be inflicted upon thee.

Both for thy injustice in taking her away by force, and for thy intentions to abuse her; though not yet executed.
