Library > Bible versions > NIV > Genesis > 20 > Genesis   20 : 1 Now Abraham moved on from there into the region of the Negev and lived between Kadesh and Shur. For a while he stayed in Gerar, 20 : 2 and there Abraham said of his wife Sarah, "She is my sister." Then Abimelech king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her. 20 : 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman." 20 : 4 Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation? 20 : 5 Did he not say to me, `She is my sister,` and didn`t she also say, `He is my brother`? I have done this with a clear conscience and clean hands." 20 : 6 Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her. 20 : 7 Now return the man`s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all yours will die." 20 : 8 Early the next morning Abimelech summoned all his officials, and when he told them all that had happened, they were very much afraid. 20 : 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham in and said, "What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you have brought such great guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done." 20 : 10 And Abimelech asked Abraham, "What was your reason for doing this?" 20 : 11 Abraham replied, "I said to myself, `There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.` 20 : 12 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife. 20 : 13 And when God had me wander from my father`s household, I said to her, `This is how you can show your love to me: Everywhere we go, say of me, "He is my brother." ` " 20 : 14 Then Abimelech brought sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and he returned Sarah his wife to him. 20 : 15 And Abimelech said, "My land is before you; live wherever you like." 20 : 16 To Sarah he said, "I am giving your brother a thousand shekels of silver. This is to cover the offense against you before all who are with you; you are completely vindicated." 20 : 17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife and his slave girls so they could have children again, 20 : 18 for the LORD had closed up every womb in Abimelech`s household because of Abraham`s wife Sarah.
