9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
9 "Where is your wife Sarah?" they asked him. "There, in the tent," he said.
9 They said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" And he said, "She is in the tent."
9 The men said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" He said, "In the tent."
9 Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" So he said, "Here, in the tent."
9 "Where is Sarah, your wife?" the visitors asked. "She's inside the tent," Abraham replied.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 18:9
Commentary on Genesis 18:9-15
(Read Genesis 18:9-15)
Where is Sarah thy wife? was asked. Note the answer, In the tent. Just at hand, in her proper place, occupied in her household concerns. There is nothing got by gadding. Those are most likely to receive comfort from God and his promises, who are in their proper place, and in the way of their duty, 17; but He who searches the heart, saw that the one sprung from unbelief, and the other from faith. She denied that she had laughed. One sin commonly brings in another, and it is not likely we shall strictly keep to truth, when we question the Divine truth. But whom the Lord loves he will rebuke, convict, silence, and bring to repentance, and if they sin before him.
