mkjv@Genesis:20:1 @ And Abraham moved from there toward the south country, and lived between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.

mkjv@Genesis:20:2 @ And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

mkjv@Genesis:20:3 @ But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you [are] about to die, for the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

mkjv@Genesis:20:4 @ But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, will You also kill a righteous nation?

mkjv@Genesis:20:5 @ Did he not say to me, She [is] my sister? And she, even she herself said, He [is] my brother. In the sincerity of my heart and innocency of my hands I have done this.

mkjv@Genesis:20:6 @ And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the sincerity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.

mkjv@Genesis:20:7 @ Now therefore, restore his wife to the man. For he [is] a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live. And if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.

mkjv@Genesis:20:8 @ And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears. And the men were greatly afraid.

mkjv@Genesis:20:9 @ Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have you done to us? In what have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.

mkjv@Genesis:20:10 @ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see that you have done this thing?

mkjv@Genesis:20:11 @ And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God [is] not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.

mkjv@Genesis:20:12 @ And yet truly [she is] my sister. She [is] the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.

mkjv@Genesis:20:13 @ And it happened when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This [is] your kindness which you show to me, at every place where we shall come, say of me, He [is] my brother.

mkjv@Genesis:20:14 @ And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave [them] to Abraham. And he restored him Sarah his wife.

mkjv@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before you. Live where it pleases you.

mkjv@Genesis:20:16 @ And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, he [is] to you a covering of the eyes, to all that [are] with you, and with all this, you are justified.

mkjv@Genesis:20:17 @ And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his slave women, and they gave birth.

mkjv@Genesis:20:18 @ For the Lord had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
