105:15 anointed ones. This (with the companion 1 Chron. 16:22) is the only place in the OT that uses the plural of "anointed one," applying it here to the family of Abraham (perhaps treating the descendants as included in the ancestor).

In Gen. 20:7, Abraham as a prophet is both under God's special care and a worthy intercessor on behalf of others.
