Explanation preview
The narrator sets the scene: a famine strikes the land, echoing the one in Abraham's day, and Isaac travels to Gerar to seek help from Abimelech, king of the Philistines. The verse deliberately links Isaac's story to his father's, showing that the promised family faces the same kind of threat again.
