Sforno on Genesis 12:18/ספורנו על בראשית י״ב:י״ח

אלָמָּה לֹא הִגַּדְתָּ לִּי. שֶׁגַּם אִם הָיִיתָ חוֹשֵׁד אֶת הֶהָמוֹן, לֹא הָיָה לְךָ לַחֲשֹׁד אֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר בַּמִּשְׁפָּט יַעֲמִיד אָרֶץ:
1למה לא הגדת לי, even if you had reason to suspect the ordinary citizens would harm you on account of her, surely you could have told me, the king, the truth, seeing that it is my task to rule with justice.
