1 Abraham moved to the Southern Desert, where he settled between Kadesh and Shur. Later he went to Gerar, and while there
2 he told everyone that his wife Sarah was his sister. So King Abimelech of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream and said, “You have taken a married woman, and for this you will die!”
4-5 Abimelech said to the Lord, “Don't kill me! I haven't slept with Sarah. Didn't they say they were brother and sister? I am completely innocent.”
6 God spoke to Abimelech in another dream and said:I know you are innocent. That's why I kept you from sleeping with Sarah and doing anything wrong.
