Genesis 20
20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country,
and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister:
and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him,
Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her:
and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
20:5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister?
and she, even she herself said, He is my brother:
in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
20:6 And God said unto him in a dream,
Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart;
for I also withheld thee from sinning against me:
therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
20:7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live:
and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
20:8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants,
and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him,
What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee,
that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin?
thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham,
What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
20:11 And Abraham said,
Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
20:12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father,
but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
20:13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her,
This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me,
He is my brother.
20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants,
and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
20:15 And Abimelech said,
Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
20:16 And unto Sarah he said,
Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver:
behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other:
thus she was reproved.
20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God:
and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
20:18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech,
because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
