He lived as a foriegner in Gerar. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> Abraham said about Sarah his wife, &#8220;She is my sister.&#8221; Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, &#8220;Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man&#8217;s wife.&#8221; <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, &#8220;Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Didn&#8217;t he tell me, &#8216;She is my sister?&#8217; She, even she herself said, &#8216;He is my brother.&#8217; In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this.&#8221; <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> God said to him in the dream, &#8220;Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn&#8217;t allow you to touch her. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> Now therefore, restore the man&#8217;s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don&#8217;t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.&#8221; <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, &#8220;What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!&#8221; <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Abimelech said to Abraham, &#8220;What did you see, that you have done this thing?&#8221; <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> Abraham said, &#8220;Because I thought, &#8216;Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife&#8217;s sake.&#8217; <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> Moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father&#8217;s house, that I said to her, &#8216;This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, &#8220;He is my brother.&#8221;&#8216;&#8221; <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Abimelech took sheep and oxen, men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife to him. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> Abimelech said, &#8220;Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.&#8221; <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> To Sarah he said, &#8220;Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.&#8221; <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Abraham prayed to God. God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore children. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> For Yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham&#8217;s wife. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height = 100;\n<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_320x100_more_for_mobile --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>If you know someone that needs to give their heart to Jesus, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/26\/bill-winstons-prayer-of-salvation-the-sinners-prayer\/\" title=\"great video of the Salvation Prayer\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a great video of the Salvation Prayer (Sinner&#8217;s Prayer).<\/a><\/strong><\/br><\/br>If you (or anyone you know) needs prayer, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/24-hour-toll-free-prayer-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a list of toll free 24 hour prayer lines.<\/a><\/strong> <\/br><br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/salvation\/faqs-about-salvation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions about Salvation.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/><\/br>To access different versions of the Bible, click the following links: <br \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=king+james+version\" target=\"_blank\">King James Version (KJV), <\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=American+Standard+Version\" target=\"_blank\">American Standard Version (ASV), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=World+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">World English Bible (WEB), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Darby+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Darby English Bible (DARBY), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Bible+in+Basic+English\" target=\"_blank\">Bible in Basic English (BBE), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Webster+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Webster&#8217;s Bible (WBT), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Young+Literal+Translation\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s Literal Translation (YLT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur.
