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.
