Description

Avimelech is a prominent character in Vayeira, getting two entire stories devoted to his interactions with Avraham. What is the significance of Avimelech? In what way is his interaction with Avraham setting the stage of Jewish history? And how does it link into the battle between the Jews and the Plishtim over the next 15 generations until the building of the Beit HaMikdash?
