Genesis 20:1-3

1Now Abraham journeyed from 1there toward the land of 2the 3Negev, and 4settled between Kadesh and Shur; then he sojourned in 5Gerar.

2Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “6She is my sister.” So 7Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

38But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Behold, 9you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is 10married.”
