Abraham is possibly referring here to his and ABIMELEK's gods. The
YIR)-AT ELOHIM of verse 11 refers to the mores of the local
population. It would be greatly interesting to know of other such
instances in which what Elohim did is being said in the plural.

Yes, I do.
Genesis 20:13 - the word H+(U is conjugated in the divine plural.
