The Pulpit Commentary on Genesis 24:62

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And (when the bridal train was nearing home) Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi;—Hagar's well (Genesis 16:7, Genesis 16:14)—for he dwelt in the south country—on the Negeb (vide Genesis 12:9).

Abraham may by this time have removed from Hebron; or, if Hebron be included in the south country, Isaac may have been only on a visit to Hagar's well (Lange).
