GE-20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south
country,
and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
GE-20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She [is] my sister:
and
Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
GE-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.
GE-20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord,
wilt
thou slay also a righteous nation?
GE-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.
GE-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.
GE-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.
GE-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.
GE-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.
GE-20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou,
that thou
hast done this thing?
GE-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.
GE-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.
GE-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 show unto me; at every place whither we shall come,
say of
me, He [is] my brother.
GE-20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants,
and
womenservants, and gave [them] unto Abraham, and restored him
Sarah
his wife.
GE-20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before thee:
dwell
where it pleaseth thee.
GE-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.
GE-20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech,
and
his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare [children].
GE-20:18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the
house
of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
