And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman that thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill a righteous nation?

And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spoke all these words in their ears; and the men were greatly afraid.

And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What hast thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Thou hast done to me deeds that ought not to be done.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?

And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gave them to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is good in thine eyes.

Abimelech also told Sarah, "Look! I am giving your brother 1,000 pieces of silver to vindicate you in the eyes of all who are with you. As a result, you will be completely vindicated."

And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore children.

For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham's wife.

And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his host, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest.

And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this, neither hast thou told me of it, neither have I heard of it but to-day.

And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What mean these seven ewe-lambs, these which thou hast set by themselves?

And they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the captain of his host, and returned into the land of the Philistines.

And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine which had been in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

And it came to pass when he had been there some time, that Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked out of the window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was dallying with Rebecca his wife.

Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, she is certainly thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? and Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die on account of her.

And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? But a little and one of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a trespass on us.

And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that touches this man or his wife shall certainly be put to death.

And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for thou art become much mightier than we.

And Abimelech, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol the captain of his host, went to him from Gerar.
