Genesis 20:7-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. Give Abraham his wife back. He is a prophet. He will pray for you, and you will not die. But if you do not give Sarah back, you will die. And all your family will surely die.”

8. So early the next morning, Abimelech called all his officers. He told them everything that had happened in the dream. They were very much afraid.

9. Then Abimelech called Abraham to him. Abimelech said, “What have you done to us? What wrong did I do against you? Why did you bring this trouble to my kingdom? You should not have done these things to me.

10. What were you thinking that caused you to do this?”

11. Then Abraham answered, “I thought no one in this place respected God. I thought someone would kill me to get Sarah.
