20:1
And
Abraham
journey
ed from thence toward
the south
country, and dwelled between
Kadesh
and
Shur
, and
sojourn
ed 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
hand
s 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
sin
ning 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
servant
s, 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.

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
pray
ed 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
.
