Genesis 20:9-16

9Then AbimelechH40 calledH7121 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and wherein have I sinnedH2398 against thee, that thou hast broughtH935 on me and on my kingdomH4467 a greatH1419 sinH2398? thou hast done deedsH4639 unto me that ought not to be done. 10And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thingH1697? 11And AbrahamH85 saidH559, Because I thought, Surely the fearH3374 of GodH430 is not in this placeH4725; and they will slayH2026 me for my wife’sH802 sake. 12And moreover she is indeed my sisterH269, the daughterH1323 of my fatherH1, but not the daughterH1323 of my motherH517; and she becameH1961 my wifeH802: 13and it cameH935 to pass, when GodH430 caused me to wanderH8582 from my father’sH1 houseH1004, that I saidH559 unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me: at every placeH4725 whither we shall comeH935, sayH559 of me, He is my brotherH251. 14And AbimelechH40 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, and men-servants and women-servants, and gaveH5414 them unto AbrahamH85, and restoredH7725 him SarahH8283 his wifeH802. 15And AbimelechH40 saidH559, Behold, my landH776 is before thee: dwellH3427 where it pleaseth thee. 16And unto SarahH8283 he saidH559, Behold, I have givenH5414 thy brotherH251 a thousandH505 pieces of silverH3701: behold, it is for thee a coveringH3682 of the eyesH5869 to all that are with thee; and in respect of all thou art righted.
