Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - And the thing (literally, the word, i.e. Sarah's proposal) was very grievous (literally, evil exceedingly; for the contrary phrase vide Genesis 20:15) in Abraham's sight (literally, in the eyes of Abraham) because of his son - who, besides being bound to him by the ties of natural affection, had for years been regarded as the Heaven-appointed heir of the promise (vide Genesis 17:18).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight.--Heb., the word (or matter) was evil exceedingly in Abraham's eyes. It was not merely painful to him because of his natural affection for Ishmael (Genesis 17:18), but he also thought the proposal unjust.
