Genesis 20:1-18 CSB

[1] From there Abraham traveled to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar, [2] Abraham said about his wife Sarah, "She is my sister." So King Abimelech of Gerar had Sarah brought to him. [3] But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, "You are about to die because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman." [4] Now Abimelech had not approached her, so he said, "Lord, would you destroy a nation even though it is innocent? [5] Didn't he himself say to me, 'She is my sister'? And she herself said, 'He is my brother.' I did this with a clear conscience and clean hands." [6] Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience. I have also kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I have not let you touch her. [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, know that you will certainly die, you and all who are yours." [8] Early in the morning Abimelech got up, called all his servants together, and personally told them all these things, and the men were terrified. [9] Then Abimelech called Abraham in and said to him, "What have you done to us? How did I sin against you that you have brought such enormous guilt on me and on my kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done." [10] Abimelech also asked Abraham, "What made you do this?" [11] Abraham replied, "I thought, 'There is absolutely no fear of God in this place. They will kill me because of my wife.' [12] Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife. [13] So when God had me wander from my father's house, I said to her: Show your loyalty to me wherever we go and say about me, 'He's my brother.'" [14] Then Abimelech took flocks and herds and male and female slaves, gave them to Abraham, and returned his wife Sarah to him. [15] Abimelech said, "Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you want." [16] And he said to Sarah, "Look, I am giving your brother one thousand pieces of silver. It is a verification of your honor to all who are with you. You are fully vindicated." [17] Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves so that they could bear children, [18] for the LORD had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech's household on account of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
