Matthew Henry on Genesis 21:32
We have here an account of the treaty between Abimelech and Abraham, in which appears the accomplishment of that promise (ch. xii. 2) that God would make his name great. His friendship is valued, is courted, though a stranger, though a tenant at will to the Canaanites and Perizzites.
