This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Ver. 17. Shall I hide from Abraham?] My bosom friend. He shall be both of God’s court, and his council. His "secret is with them that fear him". {Psa_25:14} The kings of Israel had some one courtier, called the king’s friend by a specialty, to whom they imparted arcana imperii , state secrets. Such an office had Abraham about God, who calls him "Abraham my friend." See what our Saviour saith to all his, Joh_15:15. "This honour have all his saints."
