Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Genesis 18:5

_ _ for therefore are ye come — No questions were asked. But Abraham knew their object by the course they took — approaching directly in front of the chief sheik’s tent, which is always distinguishable from the rest and thus showing their wish to be his guests.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Genesis 18:1-8.
