John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Genesis 12:17

And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house — Probably, those princes especially that had commended Sarai to Pharaoh. We are not told, particularly, what these plagues were; but, doubtless, there was something in the plagues themselves, or some explication added to them, sufficient to convince them that it was for Sarai's sake they were thus plagued.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Genesis 12:17

And the LORD (o) plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

(o) The Lord took the defence of this poor stranger against a mighty king: and as he is ever careful over his, so did he preserve Sarai.
