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 show 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.
