Abimelech is the king of the Philistines at Gerar. Isaac went to him during a famine, and Abimelech charged that any man who touched Isaac or his possessions would die. Abimelech later told Isaac to leave because he was much mightier, and Isaac swore an oath with Abimelech, Ahuzzath, and Phicol at the Well of the Oath. Servants of Abimelech also saw Sarah while Abraham dwelt in the land of the Philistines.
