You do realize in the Genesis account life spans were on average around 400-500 years old.

If abraham himself realizes the unusual behavior, then why call it absurd?

As Amlodhi says, Abraham does not consider the Pharaoh or King Abimelech’s obsession with Sarah to be absurd, he in fact expects them to find her very beautiful. What he finds absurd is the announcement that he and Sarah will conceive a child in their old age.
​
A few posts ago you wrote a reference of Abe's laughing at this love for Sarah.

The Bible says that Abraham laughed at the idea of him and Sarah having a child when he is 100 years old and Sarah is 90, he found that absurd.
​
What he didn't find absurd was that Abimelech, who could have had any woman in the kingdom, would be lovestruck with this 90 year old hot chick.
​
It seems that if he found himself, wife having a child absurd at the old age, would it not seem logical that he found also Abimelech's love for the 90 year old woman absurd?
