Genesis 20:5-8

5Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she 1herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In 2the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my 3hands I have done this.” 6Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also 45kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. 7Now therefore, restore the man’s wife, for 6he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.”

8So Abimelech arose early in the morning and called all his servants and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were greatly frightened.
