Rom 4:19. Μὴ ἀσθενήσας, being not weak) Reason [had he hearkened to it] might have afforded causes of weakness.-ἑαυτοῦ-Σάῤῥας, his own-of Sarah’s) The old age of both the husband and wife, and the previous barrenness of the latter, increase the difficulty, and prove the birth of Isaac to have been miraculous. The course of the history shows, that Sarah gave birth to Isaac only [not save, ‘nonnisi’] in conjunction with Abraham. The renewed vigour of his body remained even in his marriage with Keturah.-ἑκατονταέτης που, when he was about a hundred years old) After Shem, we read of no one begetting children, who was a hundred years of age, Genesis 11.
