1And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.[ † ]Genesis 18:1Genesis 12:9Genesis 16:7-14Genesis 26:1-6 2And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.[ † ]Genesis 12:11-13Genesis 26:7Genesis 12:15 3But 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.[ † ]Psalms 105:14Job 33:15Genesis 20:7 4But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?[ † ]Genesis 18:23-25Numbers 16:22 5Said 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.[ † ]1 Kings 9:42 Kings 20:3Psalms 7:8Psalms 26:6 6And 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.[ † ]Genesis 31:7Genesis 35:5Exodus 34:241 Samuel 25:26-34Genesis 39:92 Samuel 12:13 7Now 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.[ † ]1 Samuel 7:52 Kings 5:11Job 42:8James 5:14-15Genesis 2:17Numbers 16:32-33
8Therefore 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. 9Then 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.[ † ]Genesis 26:10Genesis 39:9Exodus 32:21Joshua 7:25Genesis 34:7 10And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? 11And 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.[ † ]Genesis 42:18Nehemiah 5:15Psalms 36:1Proverbs 16:6Genesis 12:12Genesis 26:7 12And 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.[ † ]Genesis 11:29 13And 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.[ † ]Genesis 12:1-9, 11Hebrews 11:8Genesis 12:13Genesis 20:5 14And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.[ † ]Genesis 12:16 15And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.[ † ]Genesis 13:9Genesis 34:10Genesis 47:6 16And 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.[ † ]Genesis 26:11Malachi 2:9
17So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children .[ † ]Numbers 12:13Numbers 21:7Job 42:9James 5:16Genesis 21:2 18For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.[ † ]Genesis 12:17
