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, you are about to die, for the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

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

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.

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.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see that you have done this thing?

And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham. And he restored him Sarah his wife.

And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you. Live where it pleases you.

And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his slave women, and they gave birth.

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

And it happened at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with you in all that you do.

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

And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this thing, neither did you tell me, neither have I even heard of it, except today.

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

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What are these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?

So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. Then Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, rose up. And they returned to the land of the Philistines.

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

And when he had been there a long time, it happened that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out through the window, and saw; and behold! Isaac was caressing Rebekah his wife.

And Abimelech called Isaac and said, Behold! She surely is your wife. And why did you say, 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 you have done to us? One of the people might have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.

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

And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are mightier than we are.

Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phicol the commander of his army.
