Based on my past experiences, Blogger doesn't like Hebrew text, but I'm going to try anyway. Okay, I had to put the Hebrew characters last, then type everything else above them. But the point I want to make in this entry is that Wilhelm Gesenius (the notable lexicographer) seemed to think Gen. 21:25 could be frequentative, but I want to post his words here in order to present his exact understanding of the verse:
(b) The text is certainly corrupt in Is 406 (read with the LXX and Vulgate וָאֹֽמַר); Jer 3828, where the narrative breaks off in the middle of the sentence; 40:3 (וְהָיָה, &c., wanting in the LXX); also in Ju 713 וְנָפַל הָאֹהֶל is altogether redundant; in 1 S 313 read, with Klostermann, the 2nd sing. masc. instead of והגדתי; in 1 K 2112 וְהשִׁ֫יבוּ is, no doubt, incorrectly repeated from verse 9, where it is an imperative.
rr
Of other questionable instances, (α) the following, at any rate, may also be explained as frequentatives, Gn 2125, 4923, Ex 3638, 3828, 393, 1 S 57, 1720, 2411 (but even so וְאָֽמְרוּ would be expected); 2 K 2312, Is 2826 (parallel with an imperfect); Am 526 (unless it is rather, yea, ye shall take up; see above, x); ψ 263, Ezr 836.
NABRE: Abraham, however, reproached Abimelech about a well that Abimelech’s servants had seized by force.
