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.
7 Her husband is a prophet. Let her go back to him, and his prayers will save you from death. But if you don't return her, you and all your people will die.
8 Early the next morning Abimelech sent for his officials, and when he told them what had happened, they were frightened.
9 Abimelech then called in Abraham and said:Look what you've done to us! What have I ever done to you? Why did you make me and my nation guilty of such a terrible sin?
10 What were you thinking when you did this?
