@ And
Abraham
journeyed
from thence toward the
south
country
, and
dwelled
between
Kadesh
and
Shur
, and
sojourned
in
Gerar
.
strkjv@Genesis:20:2
@ And
Abraham
said
of
Sarah
his
wife
, She is my
sister
: and
Abimelech
king
of
Gerar
sent
, and
took
Sarah
.
strkjv@Genesis: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
mans
wife
.
strkjv@Genesis:20:4
@ But
Abimelech
had not come
near
her: and he
said
,
Lord
, wilt thou
slay
also a
righteous
nation
?
strkjv@Genesis: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.
strkjv@Genesis: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.
strkjv@Genesis:20:7
@ Now therefore
restore
the
man
his
wife
; for he is a
prophet
, and he shall
pray
for
thee
b@, and thou shalt
live
: and if thou
restore
her not,
know
thou that thou shalt
surely
die
, thou, and all that are thine.
strkjv@Genesis: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
.
strkjv@Genesis: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
.
strkjv@Genesis:20:10
@ And
Abimelech
said
unto
Abraham
,
What
sawest
thou
, that thou hast
done
this
thing
?
strkjv@Genesis: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
wifes
sake
.
strkjv@Genesis: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
.
strkjv@Genesis:20:13
@ And it came to pass, when
God
caused me to
wander
from my
fathers
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
.
strkjv@Genesis:20:14
@ And
Abimelech
took
sheep
, and
oxen
, and
menservants
, and
womenservants
, and
gave
them unto
Abraham
, and
restored
him
Sarah
his
wife
.
strkjv@Genesis:20:15
@ And
Abimelech
said
, Behold, my
land
is before
thee
:
dwell
where it
pleaseth
thee.
strkjv@Genesis: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
.
strkjv@Genesis:20:17
@ So
Abraham
prayed
unto
God
: and
God
healed
Abimelech
, and his
wife
, and his
maidservants
; and they
bare
children.
strkjv@Genesis:20:18
@ For the
LORD
had
fast
closed
up
all the
wombs
of the
house
of
Abimelech
,
because
of
Sarah
Abrahams
wife
.
